Item Description
This large, display-quality specimen is from the 2008-2009 finds of intense yellow lepidolite, really quite unlike anything we saw from the species before. Large, undamaged, aesthetic clusters like this sold for a premium when they came out. This is a top color, with great 3-dimensionality. The lepidolite is perched on a shard of massive quartz, and overall masses 1.2 kilos. Similar pieces have sold for $600-750 with me and others.
