This impressive large-scale specimen features massive white feldspar crystals rising prominently from a complex matrix richly covered with black schorl and quartz. The strong contrast between the bright feldspar and the numerous dark, elongated schorl crystals creates a dramatic and highly detailed surface, while scattered quartz adds further texture and visual interest throughout the piece. Weighing an impressive 79 kg, the specimen has a commanding presence, with the largest feldspar crystal reaching approximately 22 cm. Feldspar is one of the most abundant mineral groups in the Earth’s crust, but specimens of this size and aesthetic association are far less common. Originating from the Goand Mine in Shigar Valley, Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan, this piece combines exceptional scale, strong mineral contrast, and a striking natural formation.
