Item Description

An unusual muscovite specimen with large crystals of sharp, fat, hexagonal muscovite to 5 cm perched atop a previous generation of smaller crystals. The large crystals, though, are partially HOLLOW for reasons I cannot guess at. Interesting and unusual, and a big mica matrix piece in any case
