Spodumene with Albite var. Cleavelandite Branchville Quarry, Branchville, Redding, Fairfield Co., Connecticut 13.5cm x 5.9cm x 5.16cm Ex. Albert Peppis Collection No. A-76

Description/Interesting Notes: An old time classic example of spodumene from this historic Connecticut locale!!! This specimen hosts several large spodumene crystals joined by lustrous, compact alibite crystals (as well as some quartz)!!! The spodumene crystals are sharp, lustrous, and translucent!!! There are also several terminal faces to be seen as well!!! The albite is quite impressive in person, as it has a curiously curvaceous habit and one can easily see its swirling lustrous faces!!! There are also a few pearly muscovite crystals present as well!!! A fantastic Branchville spodumene indeed!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!!
