An old-time and classic Carlsbad-twinned orthoclase crystal from Bohemia, Czech Republic. This very sharp, tan crystal has textbook twinning and is very nearly pristine, with only a bit of contacting on one edge. Accompanied by an old German label. Certainly around a 100 years old or more. Ex. Wilhelm Leithauser Collection.
