Albite - vintage specimen var. Adularia
Greiner (Greinerberg) Finkenberg, Zillertal, Schwatz District
Tyrol, Austria
4.7 x 3.1 x 1.5 CM (miniature)
price: $80
Late Summer 2021
Gemmy and bright small Adularia crystals in two generations on a thin matrix plate. This specimen comes in an antique handmade display box of cardboard that has had a round hole cut into the top and a glass sheet installed. Old labels are included. The specimen is in excellent condition, the labels reference an early alpine locality now known as the Greiner area of Schwatz, Tyrol. All of the Adularia are transparent on close exam. Unfortunately it is impossible to know the exact vintage of this piece or the names of the early collectors but it is still a very nice antique presentation.
