Item Description
From the find of the Fall of 2004. These 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, the best of 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 hosts a good quality, good-sized, sharp, lustrous, deep cocoa colored, thin, tabular Brookite crystal group aesthetically flaring off matrix. Minor associated Albite and Quartz crystals can be seen on the specimen. The Brookite group measures 3.8 cm long. It is not common for this material to find the Brookites aesthetically sitting on matrix like this. A wonderful showy specimen of a species that is not often seen in fine quality crystals like this. Priced at $1200 in the inventory.
