Item Description

A large (1640 gram) specimen, of superb color saturation and quality, from a pocket found in 2008 of this very unusual material. I cannot recall seeing such intense yellow lepidolite from ANY place, and these are just gorgeous for the form and color. This is an unusually 3-dimensional specimen, with several "knobs" on the rolling plate. It is complete all around except for a few small spots of damage or contact in back.
