Item Description
An impressive, sculptural and colorful large example of the so-called "star mica" which occasionally comes from here, named for its complex habit which makes the individual crystals, when they stand out, look like little stars. Nice straw-yellow color with high luster against the contrasting albite matrix on this striking 360-degree piece. In super shape, with only the most trivial of bruising. Very nearly pristine.
