Item Description
This is one of the best Fluornatromicrolites I have seen. The flattened octahedron of deep green Fluornatromicrolite (member of the Microlite Group) is actually GEMMY, and the two Microlites rest on partially gemmy Albite. The largest Fluornatromicrolite is about 3 mm across, and it has good luster. Microlites of size are uncommon - this is an outstanding thumbnail.
