Brookite ps. After Rutile twins & Rutile (rare old classic!)

Item Description

Lustrous, dark gray brookite has pseudomorphed sharp twinned rutile crystals, to 1.2 cm, that are aesthetically scattered on the large matrix plate. An earlier generation of much smaller bundles of parallel-grown needles and herringbone needles richly covers the matrix. These smaller crystals appear to be only partially pseudomorphed, as some bundles have deep wine-red color. An excellent large and rich example of the species and famous locale. Valued at $900-1000. OLD CLASSICS, rarely seen today! This is also a cabinet piece.
