Brazilianite (ex Rolando Gioia Collection)

Item Description

This is an attractive toenail specimen featuring sharp, lustrous, well-formed, gemmy, yellow green color, crystals of Brazilianite forming an nice overall group. The quality is good on this piece and it is pretty gemmy and not at all "crazed" like many from this area. From the collection of Rolando Gioia (a contributor to new definitive book on Brazilian minerals: "Minerais e Pedras Preciosas do Brasil").
