One of the finest lepidolite crystals Bill or I have seen from this mine, perched on a tourmaline crystal section. The lepidolite is about 1 inch and is shockingly purple, completely translucent, and is pristine. It is a very esoteric but interesting specimen, better in person. When you shine light through the whole piece, from behind the tourmaline, you get a glowing purple on glowing red-pink combo!
