Kaolinite Pseudomorph of Orthoclase

Kaolinite Pseudomorph of Orthoclase from St. Austell, Cornwall, England

Collection

Robert Lavinsky

Description

Very good and relatively large pseudomorph of Kaolinite after an Orthoclase carlsbad 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.
