Description

Very nice adularia specimen. Almost no sign of attachment, the little sems to have healed (a floater?). Additionally you get nice yellowish green titanite crystals of a bout 0.5 cm (two big ones - one intact, one a little damaged - not well photographed, I miust confess), several glossy, platy hematite crystals and some chlorite.

Very good looking from two sides.
