Item Description

A classic example of this famous material from Brazil, the namesake for this well known phosphate species. This small cabinet features a predominant, doubly-terminated crystal with sharp, lustrous faces and that classic green color measuring 6.8 cm long associated with additional Brazilianite crystals and contrasting bladed white Albite. The quality is good on this piece and some of the Brazilianite crystals are nearly water clear at the terminations. From the collection of Rolando Gioia (a contributor to new definitive book on Brazilian minerals: "Minerais e Pedras Preciosas do Brasil").
