Item Description
This is a rather hard to find and admittedly cool combination / association specimen from North Carolina. When it comes to minerals like Muscovite and Garnet, they certainly are not considered rare, but the paragenesis of the two species on this particular specimen is fascinating as the Garnet (either Almandine or Pyrope) is actually included completely within the Mica itself. The nature of the specimen is such so that it can easily be backlit, beautifully highlighting the glowing red Garnet crystals within the silvery-green Muscovite. You can see in the close-up photo that the Garnets show defined crystal faces as well! A wonderful and interesting piece that would make a unique addition to any collection. These are scarcely available on the market, so don't miss out.
