Silvery books of muscoviye missed with white albite crystals from the remote Mica Creek pegmatite district. This specimen in part of a one off find a few years ago. Whilst there are thousands of pegmatite in this district, it is extremely uncommon to find one opening into a cavity where specimens such as this can form. This was found at the intersection of two pegmatite at the southern end of the pegmatite district
