Item Description
This is a very fine specimen, a large miniature, of unusual blue brucite from the famous Palabora district. Now, it is hard to obtain these unless from old collections being recycled. Most are massive and frankly not so display-worthy. This piece, however, has extremely good aesthetics and crystal definition! Valued $750
