From the collection of Ed David, a fascinating New Mexico specimen of very sharp, lustrous crystals of feldspar, which have formed on the surface of two elongated crystals of microcline. The feldspars are all over, and in fact this specimen looks good from MANY angles, though the microclines are terminated on one end.
