GEM ALBITE crystals on Quartz
OK, this one boggled minds at Denver. It fooled me, and it fooled numerous people...nobody guessed blue albite crystals. The identity was finally settled by analysis at the University of Arizona. It seems to be a one-of-a-kind. I have seen no others of this material while waiting for this one to be cleaned and returned to me, and I think its a very important rarity in that it is an extremely impressive (unprecedented?) example of an extremely common species. The major crystals reach 5 x 4 cm in size and the slender, most finely formed crystal in the middle is about 3.5 cm tall, very 3-dimensional. A very pretty specimen.
