Graphic Granite | Blue-Green Amazonite and Smoky Quartz with Mica | 989 Gr | Western Quebec, Canada | SO24

This spectacular rock specimen consists of alternating layers of light blue-green amazonite and light grey smoky quartz topped by a biotite mica (muscovite) crystal. This special material is found in proximity of pegmatite melts to the surrounding country rock and is the result of quick cooling of the melt.

The term graphic originates from the Greek word Graphos or the Latin word Graphus which means to write. It denotes the script-like appearance that resembles cuneiform or runic writings where the darker, glassy quartz appears as letters or characters written on a lighter or whitish feldspar groundmass. This top specimen has it all and is in great condition. Will mesmerize you for hours examining all angles of this fantastic specimen. Would be an amazing addition to any new or existing collection.
