Locality: Virgem da Lapa, Jequitinhonha valley, Minas Gerais, Southeast Region, Brazil
A beautiful cluster of three interpenetrating crystals of Lepidolite. Normally one would dismiss Lepidolite as mundane, but this tri-colored specimen stands out as a fine, translucent crystal specimen. In person, this very lustrous and beautiful Lepidolite will dress up anyone's pegmatite mineral collection or for that matter, anyone's collection in general.
specimen size = 2.8 x 2 x 2.5 cm.
