Item Description

Unusual and attractive cluster consisting of two intersecting Muscovite books, with one end capped by smaller Muscovite crystals and the other end adorned by a vibrant, mint-green Fluorite crystal. The largest book is 1.5 cm tall and 1.7 cm wide, with excellent vitrous luster seen at the ends where you have exposed Muscovite. The fluorescent Fluorite is gemmy and 1.7 cm in its longest dimension. A combination I have not seen the likes of for both form and aesthetics. A very good large thumbnail. It is actually quite difficult to find a high level muscovite thumbnail, and this one qualifies!
