A large matrix specimen for this pocket, where a combination of chlorite schist and possibly gneiss are the hosts for tabular, glassy and gemmy, colorless, crystals of albite to 2.5 cm across. A few of the albite crystals are also encrusted by silvery gray chlorite crystals. The central protected pocket is extremely dramatic, much mor eso in person, and showcases large, stunning albites that look more like topaz or euclase than a feldspar, at first glance.
