An OLD-TIME, CLASSIC Japanese specimen of large, sharp and lustrous, zebra-striped, tan orthoclase crystals. The large crystal is 6.0 cm. No damage. This EXCELLENT and SHOWY piece is from an OLD, 1800s collection and comes in a wooden box, with the label glued in to the bottom. The box is an antique, by itself, even with one missing side. This fine old-timer is from the Naegi pegmatite district on Honshu Island.
