Item Description

Brookites from the Fall, 2004 find at Taftan 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. This very cute and aesthetic thumbnail consists of a beauiful, color-zoned, cherry-red, blade impaled on very nifty cluster of water-clear quartz points. Classic and choice material from this find from the Herb Obodda dealer stock. Herb valued this very fine thumber at $350, five or more years ago. It is worth more today. It displays beautifully from either side and is pristine.
