Large specimen of Albite crystals hosting Muscovite and gemmy Topaz crystals to 3cm. This specimen is interesting in that
there are several voids where previous Topaze crystals were likely present and later etched away. The 'remains' of one of the Topaz, which
is fully crystallized, is present at the bottom of one of the voids. Great study piece and display piece, withthe Albite looking like
a piece coral from the sea.
