Item Description
Choice, radial cluster of Muscovite books, along with a suite of pegmatitic Erongo minerals. The individual Muscovite crystals are about .35 cm thick and 3 cm across, and as they stack together, they create a spherical cluster about 3 cm across. This growth pattern is rather remarkable and attractive, and certainly unusual. You can see the layers in the pics. The Muscovite is associated with Shorl, more Muscovite, and Feldspar. A distinctive, quality small cabinet specimen.
