Item Description

A pretty, sharp, gemmy and lustrous, yellow-green brazilianite crystal from the Al Ordway Collection. A very fine example, with the contacting out of sight on the back. This is excellent, classic older and quite rare material from the original type locality finds in Brazil and not from the modern locale for brazilianites of very different color and habit. This is a gorgeous, classic, fat and bright crystal with the unique color form those old finds rthat has not been equaled since! 20 grams, so a hefty thumbnail with some cutting value, as well. valued $600-750
