Preformed lapidary slab, rare Lepidolite, prefinished , (25 x 28 x 5 mm), natural colors, 1200 grit smooth mirror finish, use asis (25135)

This lapidary slab was preformed. We wanted to make something that was easy for you to finish, or ready to be used asis. We prefinish our slabs by trimmeing away anything that doesn't look good, and we give it a 1200 grit sanded smooth finish. It's hard to take pictures that show the true beauty of the slabs, we know you will be pleased if you make a purchase.

My shipping charge is $4.99, it doesn't matter how many items you purchase. It includes insurance for lost mail.

PREFORMED SLAB DESCRIPTION:

PEGMATITE PINK LEPIDOLITE MICA

I purchased my rough from miners selling rocks at the Tehachapi gem show many years ago. They said it was Lepidolite from the Stewart Mine which is in the Pala Mining District. I cut and slabbed the specimens and found a lot of pink Lepidolite and sparkle from the mica (the white dots in the picture is just some of the sparkle)..

This rare slab was preformed, shaped and sanded with 120-600 diamond grit and finished with 1200 grit which gave it a smooth surface and a mirror like finish. No pits or fractures. Use asis for a nice specimem or create a beautiful pendant.

Approx size: 25 x 28 x 5 mm, 56.5 ct

The Pala Mining district is now a part of the expansive Cleveland National Forest. I've read that the Stewart Gemstone Mine was closed and there were no indications of any future plans to reopen it.

INFO ON SLABS
Use my pictures with the 10 x 10 mm background squares and the 18 mm dime to help with size visualization.

All pictures show a slab that has been given a nice glow or bright polish using up to 1200 diamond grit, some even have a mirror polish (like this one). The internal inclusions are highlighted when light comes from the rear of the slab.

I try to eliminate all the pits and open fractures and I smooth all sides. I will note anything I couldn't remove. Your going to get a slab that is going to be easy to finish as a cab or use asis. If your going to make a cab you will find it a lot easier with my slabs. Also no waste to deal with.
