Phlogopite (gemmy crystals with bluish Calcite inclusions)

Item Description

Mica is typically seen as an association for other mineral on most specimen, but here we have a fantastic 2-crystal set of GEMMY golden Phlogopite crystals with sharp, well-formed faces on all sides. With backlighting, a bit of bluish Calcite inclusions can be seen in the crystals. A really fine quality set of excellent Phlogopite Mica from the Dattaw-taung locality.
