Sharp, stout, lustrous, pearlescent albite variety pericline crystals to 6.4 cm richly cover an impressive, large cabinet specimen from the Habach Valley of Austria. Some of the crystals are distinctive albite twins. This is a dramatic and showy large piece, with rich crystal coverage and is minimally impacted by the growth contact on the large crystal, which has re-crystallized. From the collection of noted Alpine collector, Rolf Wein.
