Muscovite (rare style xls - excellent) Trimingham Coll.

Item Description

Shimmering, intensely sparkly, parallel-growth, pseudo-hexagonal, clusters of large, silvery-green, muscovite plates form a striking and very fine specimen from this obscure Coronel Murta area pegmatite. Specimens from here are RARE. The pink microcline matrix is a stark contrast. This sculptural and exceptional piece has multiple displays possibilities and is essentially pristine, with only a bit trivial periphery wear on one side. Muscovite is a very common mineral, but is rare in this quality. Ex Bob Trimingham Collection and purchased from respected Hawthorneden in 2003.
