Description

Noteworthy drusy hosting centimetric candid white adularia crystals protecting elongated black rutile crystals. Rutile is often curved and coated by some secondary Mn and Fe oxides, but the epimorph is usually very thin.
Contrastful and sizeable, the locality has occasionally produced specimens of this kind in the past, but this is over 10 years old and remarkably sizeable for the locality. Connoisseur material!
