Item Description

A striking example of a common species, that we normally ignore. This impressive blocky lepidolite looks like a V-twin! The thin purple line down the center is encased in pretty lilac columnals. Two sides are accented with nifty pearlescent muscovite books, that are edge coated with lepidolite. The back side has a smoky quartz shard. A fine example, that displays supremely from three sides. Valued at $600.
