This is a monster cluster of lavender lepidolite mica, which of course forms in thin layers that here must number in the HUNDREDS. Lepidolite is mostly an accent mineral you see on tourmaline and other gem crystal specimens, but here, it is so big and rich that it makes an impressive cabinet specimen all by itself!
