Item Description

A dramatic and impressive large plate of intergrown jackstraw clusters of parallel-growth pearlescent cleavelandite blades from the famous Pederneira Mine. The two "books" of pearlescent muscovite plates partially covered with pretty lavender lepidolite crystals on an edge are a super accent to this aesthetic large piece from the Sanabria Collection. Large cleavelandite specimens with the muscovite and lepidolite association of this quality are very uncommon from here. Valued $900-1000
