A dark gray chlorite schist is the matrix for a few albite crystals, some of which are partially covered by a druse of chlorite. The largest crystal which reaches 3 cm across and is tabular, glassy and gemmy - you can look through it to the matrix underneath. It is complete, except for one small tip. Smaller crystals flank it and add jewel-like accents. This is an interesting display piece, and shows the stunning gem albite from the pocket without breaking the bank
