Item Description

Gem quality Mica species are very difficult to obtain from any locality. The gem Phlogopites from Afghanistan that came on the market a few years ago are some of the best quality crystals for the species that I have seen. This particular feautres impressive Phlogopite crystals which are very sharp, highly lustrous, bright golden honey color and GEM quality with groups measuring up to 3.2 cm on white marble matrix. The quality of the Phlogopite is VERY good for this locality, and these specimens are not nearly as obtainable as they were just a few years ago, so don't miss out. This material is also strongly fluorescent! Enjoy
