RM3108   Microcline Carlsbad twin, albite and muscovite

Twinned crystal of very good size from microcline, with very well defined faces, brilliant and white in color with orange stains. From what we can see, the main crystal is formed by a Carlsbad twin whose union plane is (010). It can be seen that the brilliance of both crystals is different. It is accompanied by albite (var. clevelandite) and muscovite. Microcline specimens such as this one can be considered among the best finds in recent years. It belonged to a great collector of feldspars such as Peter Seroka (L'Escala, Girona, Catalonia).
