Clintonite is a rare Mica Group mineral species. This fine, old-time specimen is from the New York Type Locality of Amity and features a large, well-placed, pearlescent, brown plate of clintonite set in orthoclase-rich matrix. A bonus on this classic specimen are the two broken, octahedral spinel crystals embedded in the side of the matrix. Ex. Mullane Collection.
