Brookite on Quartz

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 few very good quality, good-sized, sharp, lustrous, tabular Brookite crystals measuring up to 2.3 cm very aesthetically on gemmy Quartz crystals on matrix. A wonderful and colorful specimen of a species that is not often seen in fine quality crystals like this. Valued at $2000 for the size, quality and aesthetics. Please note: The largest Brookite crystals might appear to be damaged in the photos, but it is complete, doubly-terminated, and UNDAMAGED, so don't let the photos foll you. This is a good one for what it is. From an old east coast collection, accompanied by a label from recently deceased mineral dealer, Larry Conklin of New York City.
