A mass of Muscovote crystals on a feldspar base which have a distinct star shape. This is an older specimen which still has some green colored styrofoam glued on the bottom. It was a common practice in the late 1960s and 1970s to use green styrofoam as a mounting base.

Condition: Fairly Good

Flaws: Some of the points of the 'stars' are slightly bent which is very common for this material.
