Item Description
This beautiful old-time Mica specimen is an antique dating back approximately 100 years. This good sized, very well-formed, rich bronze colored crystal of Phlogopite has textbook hexagonal form. It's completely crystallized all around, and free of matrix. The piece is in superb condition overall with no major damage to be seen. You just do not see pieces from Sydenham on the market in any capacity. If you're a fan of Canadian minerals or just worldwide Mica specimens, do not miss out on this old attractive showy display piece from this old, long extinct Apatite and Mica mine. From an East Coast collection that we acquired. Valued at $750 in the inventory.
