Item Description

Beautiful, pearlescent, pinkish-gray muscovite "books" are strewn in striking jackstraw fashion on the large blocky ivory microcline matrix on this very aesthetic combination piece from this well-known pegmatite, source of the world's finest milarite crystals. The top surface of the microcline has a surreal laminated look! Choice and very uncommon combination material from this locale and the Bob Trimingham Collection. Displays well from several views.
