Item Description

This is one of the best quality Fluornatromicrolites I have seen. The deep green Fluornatromicrolites (member of the Microlite Group) are actually GEMMY, and the two Microlites rest on partially gemmy Albite. The crystals are striated and sharp, and up to about 3 mm across, with very good luster. Microlites of size and attractiveness are uncommon - this is an outstanding, if tiny, thumbnail.
