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 Italian and Swiss Alps, many of the Pakistani crystals are just as sharp, lustrous, gemmy and colorful. If these new specimens from Pakistan were found in the Italy or Switzerland, they would be worth thousands (!) of dollars apiece to knowledgeable collectors. That's how good they are. This particular specimen features a pair of superb quality, sharp, lustrous, tabular, nearly black Brookite crystals measuring up to 1.1 cm long sitting atop gem quality Quartz crystal matrix. No major damage. An attractive display specimen of this material.
