MUSCOVITE MICA AUSSIE 2
Muscovite Mica Aussie Specimen. Featuring many slim sheets of Mica together.

It has been used scientifically for these purposes for well over a hundred years. Mica can be flaky and comes apart in thin sheets much like flexible plastic. It is a popular and unusual mineral that appeals to people of all ages. Muscovite is just one variety of Mica, named for the Russian province of Muscovy, known for its sheet mica. This specimen comes with the small dispay stand shown in one of the pics.

Beautiful Chrysoprase Rough Cutting Aussie stone. An amazing colour for a rough stone of pale apple green. Once polished it will be quite striking.
