MUSCOVITE

White to pink blades of cleavelandite form the matrix on which has developed a number of pseudohexagonal tabular crystals of a pale yellow muscovite.   The interiors of these crystal "books" reveal significant colour zoning whilst the outer surfaces are covered with tiny crystal plates.  Interesting and attractive.
