Up for sale is an exceptionally large, high-quality, 3.6 lb raw Golden Mica crystal cluster.
This specimen features an impressive, thick, blocky formation (often sought after by collectors as \"pineapple mica\") composed of thousands of tightly stacked, highly reflective phyllosilicate sheets. When held under lighting or natural sunlight, the flat faces of the sheets produce a brilliant, metallic golden shimmer and pearlescent flash.
Because raw mica is notoriously fragile and flaky, finding a dense, substantial block of this weight that maintains excellent structural integrity is quite uncommon. It makes a phenomenal, heavy display centerpiece for any serious mineral or crystal collection. Specimen Details & Features:
• Weight: 3.6 lbs (1.63 kg) — heavy, substantial display size.
• Color & Luster: Gorgeous pale yellow to vibrant saturation of gold with highly reflective mirror-like sheet faces.
• Inclusions: Includes a few minor, eye-catching dark mineral inclusions (likely natural biotite or black tourmaline) embedded within the cluster.
• Angles: Please see all photos. Included are front, back, and side profiles to showcase the true depth, thickness, and structure of this \"book\" of mica.
Condition:
Excellent raw structural condition for a large mica cluster. Holds together very well with minimal crumbling.
🚨 IMPORTANT NOTE ON SHIPPING MICA:
Mica is a naturally soft, layered mineral. While this specific piece is remarkably solid and stable, minor flaking or shedding of tiny shimmering flakes inside the packaging during transit is entirely normal and to be expected. The specimen will be meticulously packed with protective underlying layers to prevent edge damage prior to being heavily bubble-wrapped.
