Brookite (gemmy "phantom" crystals)

Item Description

These recently discovered Brookite specimens are some of the finest quality "Alpine-type" Brookites in the world. Reminiscent of the finest TRUE ALPINE Brookite specimens from the 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 handful of very good quality, good-sized, sharp, lustrous, tabular Brookite crystals measuring up to 1.0 cm sitting aesthetically on matrix with white Quartz crystals. When backlit, the Brookites shows an intense flame red hue with classic internal black "phantoms" that are seen in the finest Brookites. A wonderful and colorful specimen of a species that is not often seen in fine quality crystals like this. Valued at $1200 for the size, quality and aesthetics. The majority of the crystals are completely undamaged and very eye-catching.
