The video says it all - this is simply one of the most colorful examples of the species that you will ever see. It comes from a SINGLE startling pocket that turned up in 2019, and from which we bought all the quality specimens that we could find. This was perhaps the best miniature of the lot, with sharp crystals arranged in a curving stack. It looks machined rather than grown, to be honest. Complete 360 all around, as it sits flat. The matrix is a mix of muscovite with minor apatite.
