Item Description

A very rarely seen specimen of the uncommon silicate, Mullite, from the type locality in Scotland! It's not a terribly pretty piece, but there are crystalline areas of Mullite on host rock matrix. It's not often that we see pieces of this material from the Isle of Mull. The piece comes with a Dakota Matrix label that states it's from the Phillips Collection.
