ALBITE on MICROCLINE 1 3/4″ 1-2 Oz Raw Rock Mineral Specimen Crown Chakra Stone

Description

This product is a unique mineral specimen you will not find being sold by anyone else. A friend of mine is a geologist miner and he discovered a deposit of this material at MT Pit #1, Thompson Peak, Plumas County, California.

It is Albite epitaxial on Microcline and some pieces have small amounts of epidote in them.

You will receive one mineral specimen from the lot shown in the photos and video that is 1 1/2 inch to 2 inch and weighs 1 to 2 ounces.

Mineral Description
Albite is a plagioclase feldspar mineral. It is the sodium endmember of the plagioclase solid solution series. It represents a plagioclase with less than 10% anorthite content. The pure albite endmember has the formula NaAlSi
3O8. It is a tectosilicate. Its color is usually pure white, hence its name from Latin, albus.[5] It is a common constituent in felsic rocks. Albite crystallizes with triclinic pinacoidal forms.

Microcline commonly occurs in plutonic igneous rocks such as granites and syenites that cooled slowly and at considerable depth. It is the common potasium feldspar variety in pegmatites where it can form the largest known crystals of any mineral (in a pegmatite in Karelia, U.S.S.R., a microcline mass weighing over 2000 tons showed the form of a single crystal!).

Epidote is a structurally complex mineral having both single silicate tetrahedrons, SiO4, and double silicate tetrahedrons, Si2O7. Epidote, while not general known for exceptional crystals can produce some magnificent specimens. Its unique green color which is often described as “pistachio”, is quite striking in well colored specimens. The name Epidote comes from the Greek words “epi” which means “over” and “didonai” which means “to give”. The name is derived from the Greek word “epidosis” which means “addition.”
