For my taste, this specimen has everything going for it. To start with, the main crystal height of 6 cm conforms to its matrix of smaller microcline crystals. Secondly, is the albite-style twinning along with the outstanding luster. Thirdly, on the back side, this specimen exhibits the best example of the thick white core and the thin glassy overgrowth.
