Muscovite with Feldspar

Muscovite with Feldspar

Sold. This piece has found its home.

Euhedral, high luster flower-like muscovite books in a matrix of albite. What I love about this piece is the way the muscovite books look like flowers climbing up a wall of feldspar. This piece weighs 853 grams and is from Urundu Mine, Shigar Valley, Pakistan.
