Reference id: RAXqi9THsDs 11035
Piece of Bubble or Botryoidal Lepidolite mica.
While lepidolite is not rare, the way this formed is, with its curved habit.
This has many names, such as:
Botryoidal Lepidolite
Curved Lepidolite MicaBotryoidal Lepidolite
Bubble Lepidolite
"Ball-Peen" Habit
Urubu Mine, Minas Gerais, Brazil
Measures about 2 inches x 1 5/8 x 1 1/8
Weights 3.8oz.
Please note this lepidolite is part of the mica family. Raw lepidolite is very fragile, especially with this formation with a lot of small petals, it is quite normal that it may flake off a little bit in unpacking or handling.
You definitely want this in your crystal collection!
Common questions
- For pendants pictured without a bail (the piece that goes into the drill hole so you can slide a chain through), I will make a wire bail. I will need to be able to reach you to see what color bail you want the wire in.
Please keep dry. Some crystals will dissolve if they get wet. A little sweat against the skin or a little rain (if you are out and about) will be fine, but please do not shower or swim with the pieces.
