Item Description

Sculptural and aesthetic 360-degree rosette of intergrown "books" of sharp, hexagonal muscovite plates from a large 1989 find at this well-known Brazilian pegmatite. The strongly pearlescent brown plates have a striking, unusual rose-brown hue, when rotated under bright light, that really adds to their attractiveness. Ex Chad Dalrymple collection of Ardmore, Oklahoma who passed away in 1995. We recently obtained a portion of his collection. He acquired this showy piece in September, 1994. Classic and excellent small cabinet muscovite from the locale.
