Rare Mineral Specimens & Powerful Crystals...

That's EPIC!

________________________________________

This is the rarest variety of Muscovite I have, it also comes from Hewitt Gem Quarry in Haddam CT.

Between each sheet there are all kinds of interesting iridescent colors, patterns and ancient-script like inclusions that are a blast to look at when peeling them apart (I have mica all over my backyard from doing this: see last pictures!) and are very transparent when thin.  

The thicker they get the more the patterns stack onto each other, making them appear black like Annite!  You can find tourmaline (Schorl & Elbaite) crystals inside them along with spessartine if you're really lucky!

They're described perfectly here by Harold Moritz, our local CT mineral expert and geologist:

and the text is easy to read here:

I have quite a few books of this variety (I focused almost solely on Muscovite collecting last visit to Hewitt) and if you're interested in less-aesthetic books than this specimen to peel layers for slides and cross sections, send me a message and I'll get some posted 👍🏻

Includes a few 'slides' as a bonus just like the ones pictured!
