Item Description

A classic old specimen of the famous crystals of Brookite from Magnet Cove. These are certainly some of the most distinctive Brookite crystals in the world due to their unique thickness (most Brookite crystals are wafer thin) and dark color. This small cabinet specimen hosts several sharp, well-formed, pseudo-octahedral (orthorhombic) crystals of Brookite measuring up to 8 mm sit aesthetically on dark grey colored Quartz crystal matrix. No real damage that I can find with the naked eye. For reference, there is a bit of blue mineral tack / clay attached to the piece, so please do not mistake it for another mineral species.
