Very aesthetic combination piece that offers more than you would have imagined. The Albite is complete all the way around, with the main termination being perfect while the other end is complex with many small terminations. Resting on the main face of the feldspar are numerous Schorl crystals that are often doubly-terminated and have superb luster.
