A dramatic, uncommon and unusual combination specimen for the locality; and beautiful too, I think. It features a wide, flat smoky, with a sharp, terminated microcline crystal growing at an angle from the base. The termination of the smoky has grown around a bit of matrix, but it does not detract from the stark elegance of this piece. 10.5 x 4.5 x 3.8 cm
