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