An EXTREMELY RICHLY covered matrix of milky quartz and muscovite covered with sparkling, gemmy, isolated, micro sky-blue turquoise crystals from the famous Lynch Station prospect of Virginia. Discrete, well-formed turquoise crystals are very rare and this is a REALLY good one. Lynch Station has produced probably the worlds best crystallized turquoise. They are micros, but overall its a large enough plate that it pleases those of us who like things to look at, too. 5.6 x 3.9 x 2.2 cm
