Description: Feldspar Locality: Virgem da Lapa, Jequitinhonha valley, Minas Gerais, Southeast Region, Brazil (Locality at mindat.org) Size: 18 x 21 x 8.5 cm. A superb, textbook feldspar crystal. Not only is it large, but it is stark white, perched on a natural pedestal, and just an amazing display of perfection in symmetry in nature. Ex. Franz Saller Collection of Bavaria, Germany; probably purchased in the 1980s. The piece is pristine and complete-all-around - remarkably free of damage.
