Description: Kaolinite, Orthoclase Locality: St Austell District, Cornwall, England, UK (Locality at mindat.org) Size: miniature, 4.5 x 2.6 x 1.1 cm Kaolinite ps. Orthoclase twin Very good and relatively large pseudomorph of Kaolinite after an Orthoclase Karlsbad twin. The off-white color is attractive, but what really makes this is the well-preserved habit of the twinned crystal. Overall, a very fine specimen from one of England�s most famous localities.
