TF71K4: Group of two flat, transparent and doubly terminated Quartz crystals on a matrix of Feldspar crystals, probably Orthoclase. The locality is uncommon.
The matrix has, on its backside, a fissure recemented by Quartz but also repaired (or consolidated). This circumstance is noted on the label from the Bob Jones collection, that we'll send with the specimen.
