A STRIKING CABINET microcline specimen from the very recent Pakistan find. The 9.0 cm, totally pristine, lustrous, transparent to translucent, milky-white microcline crystal is aesthetically perched on a crust of smaller microcline crystals. The outer layer of the large crystal is transparent all-around. This is one of the best pieces in the lot that we acquired at this years Denver Show (look for others to appear in gallery soon!) 11.5 x 8.7 x 7.9 cm
