Item Description

I recent years, Pakistan produced some of the finest crystallized Brookites to come out of any locality. These are "Alpine-type" specimen and reminiscent of the famous European Alpine Brookites from various localities in Italy or Switzerland, but are often better in terms of crystal size, color and quality. This is a very attractive thumbnail specimen featuring a few sharp, gemmy bladed Brookite crystals with rich reddish-orange hues measuring up to 1.0 cm sitting aesthetically on Quartz matrix. There is a solitary Quartz crystal on the piece that is notably GEMMY, sharp and well-formed. You can see the elegant, thin, black "phantoms" inside the Brookites, for a great touch. The piece is in great condition, though there is one broken crystal on the side of the piece. This is a beautiful of this fine quality, desirable material from Pakistan.
