#80: "Legendary Lepi" Size: 4.29" x 2.36" Price: $800


This is an amazing and legendary artifact right here, a piece where Andrew took a large raw chunk of the mineral named Lepidolite and then fused large clear gold fumed end caps onto each end of the piece. He then faceted and polished the entire piece to a shiny smooth finish with absolutely magnificent results!! Lepidolite is an uncommon mica and has only in the past decade become available on the mineral market in larger quantities. Lepidolite is an ore of lithium and forms in granitic masses that contain a substantial amount of lithium. I've never seen it used this way, and I doubt anybody else has either, ha. It's a brilliant idea and I'm completely stunned that he was able to pull it off so well. That gold fuming on each end is super bright and shiny in hand, very heavily fumed. The whole effect is breathtaking and so full of calming energy!! This is your chance at the rarest of rare when it comes to Andrew's amazing work! Signed 'S Andrew Brown 05'.
