Item Description

A relic from the famous 1969 blue topaz find, here! This intergrown mass of slightly lustrous and translucent, light purplish pink lepidolite, in crystals to 1.8 vm in length, is topped by a glassy and gemmy, pale blue topaz crystal, measuring 1.1 cm in length. A great combo specimen now rarely seen. Lepidolite is the lithium rich member of the mica family. It is just a cute example, from a famous locale.
