One of the best formed specimens of orthoclase i have seen. Two large and numerous smaller crystals combine to make it a really pretty specimen. The othoclase crystals are snow white, lustrous and sharp, and up to 30 mm in length. the back has a small 10mm aquamarine crystal and a number of schorl crystals but it is without doubt an orthoclase feldspar specimen.
