Muscovite C013 / 6645
Muscovite, a variety of mica, is a silicate mineral of aluminium and potassium. It is found in metamorphic rocks, like gneiss, and plutonic rocks (igneous rocks that solidify slowly under high pressure deep in the Earths crust), like granite. It gives such rocks a slight sparkle. This specimen has hematite and limonite inclusions. It is from Adelaide, Australia

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning specimen of Muscovite C013 / 6645, a variety of mica that is found in metamorphic and plutonic rocks. The silicate mineral, composed of aluminium and potassium, adds a subtle sparkle to these types of rocks such as gneiss and granite. Taken from Adelaide, Australia, this crystal exhibits remarkable features with its inclusion of hematite and limonite. Against the black background, the vibrant blue hue stands out beautifully, making it an eye-catching geological wonder. The Natural History Museum in London has expertly captured the essence of this mineral's crystalline structure through their impeccable photography skills. Every detail is highlighted flawlessly in this image - from the intricate patterns within the Muscovite to its distinct greenish tint. As an important piece for earth science enthusiasts and those interested in mineralogy, this print offers a glimpse into the fascinating world of geology. Its cut-out presentation allows viewers to focus solely on the beauty and complexity of this potassium aluminum silicate hydroxide fluoride. With no mention or intention for commercial use by Science Photo Library or any associated company involved in producing this print, we can appreciate it purely for its scientific value and aesthetic appeal.
