This is from the collection of a discriminating Middle-Georgia collector with an eye for aesthetics and quality. These choice specimens now bear Dixie Euhedrals labels. This particular specimen was purchased 16 years ago. GREEN MUSCOVITE MICA CRYSTAL CLUSTER WITH MINOR RED RUTILE from LATTIMORE (NEAR SHELBY), CLEVELAND COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA.THIS WAS ACQUIRED IN 2008 from BILL MITCHAM. The original cost in 2008 was $10. FIVE SPECIMENS WERE PURCHASED TO GET THIS PER-PIECE PRICE. TWO HAVE ALREADY BEEN SOLD HERE. Judging by the label condition it is likely that these were collected well prior to 2008. They were likely collected in the 80's or 90's.This has minor rutile needles (thick) on the back side of the mica. I didn't notice them when photographing. They are not notable unless you look at them with a loupe and then you can see that they are quite red and semi-gemmy.Approximate size of crystal specimen: 7/8" wide X 5/8" deep X 3/4" tall or in metric: 2.2 X 1.5 X 2.0 CM. The metric dimensions are more precise. Do you like perky box mounted specimens?? I have 100's of different specimens for sale and many 100's waiting to be listed.

The photos show the specimen as if you were examining it with a magnifying glass. Every good detail, and every bad detail, is shown in a blaze of glory or shame as the case may be.Having said that, since the photos are highly enlarged you may see features or blemishes that will not be detectable or will not be as prominent to the naked eye.Please note the size and be advised that the images appear larger than life on your screen. To be clear: this is shown with extreme magnification. To put it another way, (as if that wasn't clear enough?) these are large pictures of a small crystal.This specimen is priced commensurate with its rarity, locality and quality.

The quality ranges from high to extremely high. Despite the sensory overload that oft accompanies high quality minerals, some will be quite affordable.
