Item Description
This is a really eye-catching and attractive cabinet display specimen featuring dozens of beautiful, lustrous, gemmy, yellow green color, crystals of Brazilianite measuring up to 1.7 cm aesthetically sitting on a single, sharp, semi-translucent, cream colored partial crystal of Microcline. The quality is great on this piece and it is not at all "crazed" like many from this area. The "ridge" of crystals on the edge of the Microcline crystal is certainly unique, and if you collect gem pegmatite display specimens, don't miss out on this one.
