Description

Muscovite is almost always seen as an "accessory" mineral - except on rare occasions, as with this gorgeous specimen. The bladed crystals are bright pearly silver, in a complex intergrowth, with euhedral cleavelandites playing the role of accents on this specimen. Ex. Feist Collection.
