Muscovite Mica Sheets with Oriented Iron Oxide Inclusions - 2310MMSOIOI-1
About this piece:
2.9cm x 1.3cm (at the widest points)
The frame is 6.9 x 6.9 x 2.0cm
Weight (including frame): approximately 23g
——————
Muscovite is the common form of mica. Its name is derived from “Muscovy Glass”, which describes thick sheets of transparent mica that were once used as a glass substitute in Russia. For that reason, it’s not often collected as a crystal, and often makes its presence felt by being the matrix of other crystals.
However, some muscovite mica pieces have interesting formations. Like these pieces which have iron oxide inclusions ranging from red to orange, artistically splattered across the sheet. It is also difficult to get them in such thin layers because of its fragility (Mohs hardness of 2 to 2.5).
This piece will come in a frame with a stand so that you can display them easily whilst protecting these fragile beauties.
