Mica in an Albite Matrix

About the Item

Mica in an albite matrix. Albite is a type of feldspar mineral. Mica is formed from silicate which creates the delicate, glimmery sheets that combine and layer together. This combination of minerals creates a rare, museum-quality formation. This is also a very big specimen and weighs approximately 54 lbs or 24.5 kg. The albite and mica create a rare, sculptural, natural formation.
