Item Description
An attractive display specimen featuring beautiful slightly "thick" blades of very pale blue crystals of Albite (var: "Cleavelandite") sitting atop purplish-brown Lepidolite. For two common pegmatite minerals, this is a beautiful overall piece with great form and color contrast. If you collect Brazilian minerals, this is a great opportunity to pick up a specimen that one might not consider for your collection. Formerly in the collection of John Arnuad.
