Floater specimen of golden star-shaped Muscovite with bladed white Feldspar hosting a transparent blue Tourmaline crystal.
This specimen is neat enough just with the star mica crystals sticking out in all directions all around, but the 1cm blue Tourmaline
makes it extra special. This must have formed in teh center of a pegmatite pocket, not attached to any pocket walls. Out of an old collection.
