Item Description
A wonderful showy specimen of the Mica species, Polylithionite from the famed Poudrette Quarry at Mont Saint-Hilaire. This famous locality has produced hundred of individual mineral species, and is one of the most impressive and distinctive localities in the world. Even species like Polylithionite have been found in fine quality display specimens such as this one. The piece hosts almost "rose"-esque groups comprising silvery bladed crystals of Polylithionite measuring up to about 2.6 cm across, associated with light pink salmon colored Serandite, and minor white Albite. It should be noted that it's possible the Serandite crystals are actually Schizolite, as many of the lighter colored crystals that were always considered to be "Serandite" have been analyzed in recent years and found to be Schizolite. This is a fine quality and eye-catching example of a species that is rarely seen in showy specimens such as this.
Ex Colin Manlove collection.
