Item Description
Phlogopite is a Mica species, that is most often found in marble deposits. This piece is a fantastic example labeled as coming from the Dacey (sp?) Mine near Cantley, Quebec, Canada, though I can't find a listing for that mine on mindat.org, so it could be from another mine in Cantley. The piece is a good quality, sharp, rich golden-bronze colored hexagonal crystals of Phlogopite, free of matrix. A must have specimen if you collect minerals of Canada, or if you're just a fan of Mica. From the worldwide mineral collection of Albert Lewis Kidwell (January 1, 1919 - August 16, 2008). Al was a well-known mineral collector and research geologist with Carter Oil Company and later Exxon Oil Company in Houston, Texas. The phosphate species Kidwellite was named in his honor in 1974 ( https://www.mindat.org/photo-326405.html ).
