Item Description

A very fine and showy cluster of intergrown "books" of pearlescent, silver-brown, chrome muscovite plates aesthetically perched atop matrix of smaller muscovites from Shelby, North Carolina. The sides of the sharp, hexagonal "books" have gorgeous flashes of emerald-green GEMMINESS! Particularly 2.5 cm crystal on the left. The large crystal on the right is 3.0 cm. This is old-time, rare material, seldom on the market. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!
