A miniature sized specimen of Muscovite Mica, in this particular case, “Star Mica.” This is a classic example of this type of Muscovite “star” crystal formation, with clusters of numerous crystal layers having formed along a parallel plane, giving it a sort of 3D look (did any of that make sense?). A nice piece in excellent condition.
