Geometric Muscovite with Feldspar
Sold. This piece has found its home.
Geometric, euhedral, high luster muscovite books in a matrix of albite. What I love about this piece is the beautiful star shapes of the muscovite and the juxtaposition against the simple geometry of the large albites. It doesn't always have to be a fancy gem stone to be a beautiful piece (although this piece does have a ~1.5 cm aquamarine). This piece weighs 1047 grams and is from Urundu Mine, Shigar Valley, Pakistan.
