—This unique natural specimen was dug by me on April 8, 2024, during the total solar eclipse! The specimen was laid out after digging in the eclipse light as well.—
Check out this unusual raw specimen! This is brown to black mica (var. Phlogopite), and quartz, self collected from Powers Farm, Pierrepont, NY.
In this cluster, stacks of platelets of deepest brown to black mica combine to form an eye-catching specimen. The mica has a lustrous appearance and alternates between smooth and rough textures. The specimen is deeply shaded, organic, jagged, and displays gemmy faces. I love the sculptural lines and eye-catching edges! Perfect for the healing or specimen collector in your life, especially as it was dug during the total solar eclipse on 4/8/24.
Powers Farm is a famous New York mineral locality, which has been dug and studied for more than 100 years. Powers Farm is a complex locality with multiple zones, and a wide range of mineral species and pseudomorphs. It is best known for its deep black tourmaline crystals, and happily, was within the totality path for the 2024 solar eclipse!
Locality: Powers Farm (formerly Bower Powers farm, Ryland Crary farm), Pierrepont, New York, USA.

FORMATION: Mica is a finely layered silicate mineral that is found in many localities globally. Phlogopite is a yellow to brown mica variety, and Biotite is a black mica—they are combined in a solid solution series, so they are able to transition from one variety to another.
HEALING: Biotite and phlogopite micas are associated with clearing negativity and embracing positivity.
*Though many gems and minerals have historical and cultural associations with healing properties, these items are sold for display, study, and collector interest only.
