Decorative cabinet specimen of albite from Valberg Quarry near Krager\u00f8, Telemark, Norway. Numerous white to cream-colored, tabular albite crystals form dense aggregates on a dark green to black rock matrix, creating a strong and attractive color contrast. <\/p>\n

Albite Crystals from Valberg Quarry, Norway<\/h3>\n

This attractive cabinet specimen features numerous white to cream-colored albite crystals on a dark, contrasting rock matrix. The crystals are predominantly tabular to short-prismatic and form dense groups, including partially rosette-like aggregates that cover much of the display surface. <\/p>\n

Between the compact crystal clusters, many smaller, freely developed albite crystals are visible. Their pale surfaces show a vitreous to pearly luster depending on the angle of light. The pronounced contrast between the light-colored albite and the dark green to black matrix gives the specimen a decorative and mineralogically distinctive appearance. <\/p>\n

Classic Mineral Specimen from Krager\u00f8, Telemark<\/h3>\n

Valberg Quarry near Krager\u00f8 is known for a varied mineral assemblage. In addition to albite, the locality is documented for minerals such as prehnite, scapolite, amphiboles, calcite, and several ore minerals. Mineralized veins and cavities occur within the dark hyperitic to metagabbroic host rock of the quarry. <\/p>\n

The specimen measures 7.3 \u00d7 6.0 \u00d7 3.0 cm and weighs 152.3 g. Its extensive crystal coverage and strong light-dark contrast make it an attractive reference specimen for collectors of Norwegian minerals, feldspar-group minerals, and classic Scandinavian quarry specimens.<\/p>\n
