About this specimen

The piece is miniature in size, 4.7 × 3.7 × 2 cm (1.85 × 1.46 × 0.79 in). The specimen is otherwise sold in the condition shown.

Each specimen is individually photographed and catalogued before it is listed.

About Mica

Mica is a group of sheet-silicate (phyllosilicate) minerals defined by a perfect basal cleavage that lets them split into thin, flexible, elastic sheets. The common species are muscovite (pale, potassium-rich) and biotite (dark, iron- and magnesium-rich). Micas are widespread in granites, schists and pegmatites, where they can grow as large, well-formed 'books'.
