Microlite Group on Albite (ex Kay Robertson Collection)

Item Description

First off, I have to mention that this piece is labeled as Microlite Group because the species Microlite is no longer valid. With that said, it's a neat old time Amelia specimen featuring a pair of dark brown colored partial crystals of "Microlite" measuring up to 4 mm sitting on oddly light blue colored Albite matrix. A cool specimen for anybody who collect rarities or Virginia minerals. Ex Kay Robertson Collection (#). Kay is a prominent California collector, who specialized in European classics (see the article in the March-April, 2007 Mineralogical Record and the 50+ page article in the German Magazine "Mineralien Welt" November-December 2017).
