Item Description
A classic association specimen from the Santa Rosa Mine in Brazil featuring a sharp, lustrous, gemmy, rich green colored prismatic crystal of Tourmaline measuring 3.8 cm, aesthetically perched atop a group of soft lavender colored "Lepidolite" Mica. It should be noted that "Lepidolite" for a long time was a valid species, but is now classified as a, "Li-rich mica in, or close to, the so-called Polylithionite-Trilithionite series" according to the entry on mindat.org. With that said, the name "Lepidolite" is easily recognizable, though not categorically accurate for labeling purposes. The piece is undamaged and un-repaired and displays beautifully as you can see from the video.
Ex Brian Kosnar collection.
