Item Description
These impressive and notably colorful Brucites are some of the most exciting new finds from any world locality in recent years. The wonderful combination of the fine quality, gemmy crystal groups along with the very rare yellow color has made them quite popular among collectors. This large miniature / small cabinet display specimen features very attractive rounded, lustrous, translucent, gorgeous strong yellow colored crystals groups free of matrix. As I mentioned, this is a rare color for Brucite, and with such wonderful internal gemminess when backlit, it's an impressive specimen. Originally, these were thought to be from Kharan, but we had a source tell us they're actually from Killa Saifullah District, so it's possible that the Brucites were brought to market in Kharan and errantly thought to be from there. Nonetheless, these are very attractive and worthwhile to add to your collection since there seems to be a limited amount on the market and typically these kind of discoveries don't produce a lot of material, so get them while you can. Priced in the inventory at $1,200.
