7992860
location:
Pitwak Mine, Sar-e-Sang River, Sar-e-Sang, Kuran wa Munjan, Badakhshan, Afghanistan
description:
I think a unique and colorful pseudomorph specimen with large crystals of what were once marialite measuring to 8.0 cm in size now replaced by a blue orthoclase. To my knowledge, the blue color has yet to be explained. In great condition and quite attractive.
Size: 11.0 x 10.0 x 4.0 cm (cabinet)
