Microcline with Smoky Quartz and Albite
Couldn't load pickup availability
An attractive matrix display specimen featuring a few blocky crystals of very pale blue-green Microcline (probably not dark enough for what I would call Amazonite) associated with starkly contrasting Smoky Quartz and highlighted by snow white Albite (var: Cleavelandite). The largest Microcline crystal measures 3.3 cm and the main Smoky Quartz group measures 3.6 cm long. The piece displays nicely, but the rightmost Microcline along with the termination of the Smoky Quartz are both contacted, so the piece is not 100% pristine.
