Large Mica Books - Exploration For Pegmatite

In a Exploration trip in search of minerals, crystals and metals, I found Large Mica Books in and near pegmatites some of which contained small crystal pockets. These Muscovite minerals are a good indicator of near by pegmatites and there grain size. Pegmatites can contain crystals and other precious gems like quartz crystals.

You are very brave for squeezing through that little pipe!

[@PAPAGUYJ]

holy smokes, you were not kidding about the mica books. Thats a dang good size. You still need to take me up to that spot. nice video though bud

[@Suburbanstoneage]

Those mica books are really nice! Is that something usual for your area?

[@GeoForge]

Yes, the gneiss and granitic rocks are loaded with mica but this is the first time I've see them of this size around here.

In my experience pegmatites that produce good crystals have much larger pieces of feldspar than what seems to be in that pegmatite.

The larger the grain size of the Pegmatite, the better. Pegmatites are everywhere in this area which is part of a very large batholith (the clips at the end are from the same geologic system but in a far different location). Crystal pockets have been found before in some locations with quartz crystal up to two feet long. I've also read that large books of mica are another good indicator of potential good crystals.
