Item Description

From the find of the Fall of 2004. These Brookite specimens from Baluchistan are some of the finest quality "Alpine-type" Brookites in the world. Reminiscent of the finest TRUE ALPINE Brookite specimens from the Italian and Swiss Alps, these crystals are just as sharp, lustrous, gemmy and colorful. If these specimens from Pakistan were found in the Italy or Switzerland, they would be worth thousands! of dollars apiece to knowledgable collectors (if you could even get a European collector to part with one). That's how good they are. This particular specimen features a few good quality,sharp, red-orange color Brookite crystals and blackish prismatic Rutile crystals included inside a colorlesss, sharp lustrous Quartz crystal. A very cool inclusion specimen, and better in person, hard to photograph.
