Lustrous, sharp, cream-colored microcline crystals to 3.2 cm form an aesthetic and showy specimen on this CLASSIC, OLD-TIMER from Chester County, Pennsylvania. We believe this piece is from the very interestingly named Chester County Poorhouse Quarry. A couple of the crystals are Carlsbad-twinned. Ex. Charles Hansen Collection.
