Size: miniature, 4.5 x 2.6 x 1.1 cm
Kaolinite ps. Orthoclase twin
Very good and relatively large pseudomorph of Kaolinite after an Orthoclase Karlsbad twin. The off-white color is attractive, but what really makes this is the well-preserved habit of the twinned crystal. Overall, a very fine specimen from one of England�s most famous localities.
