Mica on Matrix Rough Crystal Chunk - One of a Kind Raw Mica, 5 Inch

Flat and wide with glittering mica sheets across its face, this rough chunk shows mica still set in the rock it grew in.

Mica forms in stacked layers that split into thin, flexible sheets, and you can see that layering along the edges of this piece. The metallic flash changes as you tilt it, which makes it a fun specimen to hand to a curious guest or keep on a desk. Its low, flat shape also works well leaning on a small easel or lying on a shelf. It is a nice starter specimen for a rock collection and a fun gift for a science lover. This is the exact piece shown.

The piece is about 5 by 3.75 by 1 inches and weighs about 0.59 kilograms.
