Item Description

A really cool and hard to find specimen of what was known forever (since 1792!) as "Lepidolite" (now defined as a mineral in the so-called Polylithionite-Trilithionite series). It should be noted that the original Lepidolite was actually found in the Vyso?ina Region, just like this specimen. This piece hosts several beautiful pinkish-purple bladed groups of this member of the Mica group on white Microcline and Quartz matrix.
