Item Description
Brazilianite is not necessarily rare from Brazil, but specimens around the world are hard to find. This piece is an older specimen dating back a few decades and features a sharp, well-formed, lustrous, translucent, yellow-green crystal measuring 2.1 cm on etched blocky white Albite matrix. The most important aspect of the specimen is that the main Brazilianite is doubly-terminated, and it's wedged against a second Brazilianite crystal. The whole piece is essentially a complete "floater" with no point of attachment. Great quality, and very showy.
