aggregate of thick book Muscovite Mica sheets with Tourmaline from Pakistan

$220.00
Color: White

This specimen features an aggregate of thick book Muscovite mica sheets inter grown with tourmaline crystals, sourced from Pakistan. The Muscovite mica is characterized by its layered structure, appearing as stacked sheets that are slightly flexible and translucent, with a pearly to vitreous luster. These sheets have a silvery-gray to light brown hue, and their thickness and density create a robust and substantial appearance, often referred to as "book mica" due to their resemblance to the pages of a book. Interspersed among the mica sheets are elongated, prismatic tourmaline crystals, which add a striking contrast with their deep black to dark green coloration. The tourmaline exhibits a vitreous luster and may display striations along its length, enhancing its visual appeal.

Muscovite Description:

Muscovite is the most common mineral in the mica's own family. It is an essential rock-forming mineral found in igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks. Like different micas, it easily cleaves into skinny transparent sheets. Muscovite sheets have a pearly to vitreous luster on their floor. If they're held as much as the light, they're transparent and almost colorless, but most have a mild brown, yellow, green, or rose-color tint.

The capacity of muscovite to cut into thin transparent sheets - occasionally up to several feet across - gave it an early use as window panes. In the 1700s it was mined for this use from pegmatites in the location around Moscow, Russia. Those panes were referred to as "Muscovy glass" and that term is an idea that inspired the mineral name "muscovite."
