A BEAUTIFUL, PRISTINE, complete all-around, lustrous, pearlescent, CABINET microcline crystal with textbook crystal faces from the recent find in Pakistan. A couple of the faces on this LARGE crystal are preferentially overgrown by lustrous and transparent light-gray microcline. The sharp termination face is frosted snow-white. These are some of the finest microclines found from any locality in recent years.
