Sharp, large, lustrous, and translucent, pastel-green orthoclase crystals form a fine specimen from an uncommon Pakistan locality noted for its alpine-type metamorphic rocks. The crystals have textbook orthoclase crystal form. This very fine, alpine-type piece is very nicely accented by the lustrous biotite column on the bottom and dates to small finds 8-10 years ago.
