Description

Beautiful combination from the Swiss Alps. A cluster of intergrown adularia crystals which are completely covered in a thin layer of intense green chlorite. The form of the cluster is nicely sculptural built and with a size of almost 10cm also super eye-catching. Last but not least, the specimen is at some areas covered in dozens of smal but highly lustrous blades of hematite as well which adds the cherry on cacke in terms of esthetics.
