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 good quality, good-sized, doubly-terminated, sharp, lustrous, tabular Brookite crystal measuring 2.1 cm very aesthetically on gemmy Quartz crystals on matrix. The color is a rusty reddish-brown hue, and it's actually a bit of a composite crystal as it's layered, so it appears that perhaps more than one crystal comprise what's seen here. A wonderful, showy specimen of a species that is not often seen in fine quality crystals on matrix like this. Valued at $1600 for the size, quality and aesthetics.
