Muscovite on Microcline (Dave Stoudt Coll.)

Item Description

An impressive, large, 7.4 cm, "book" of pearlescent, gray, black and brown, muscovite plates is nicely set on the CABINET matrix of sharp, pastel-pink, microcline crystals. Excellent combinatinon material from recent finds in the Andes Mountains of Argentina - and the only decent example of this material we have yet seen personally. Ex Dave Stoudt Collection # 842. Dave lived and worked in Argentina in the oil industry and established good contacts there with collectors. He purchased this piece in Buenos Aires in 2002, according to his label.
