Item Description
In the last few years, some of the most beautiful specimens of Brucite have come out of Pakistan. The intense yellow color is exceptionally rare for the species, and the saturation of these groups combined with the fact that they have formed attractive specimens on matrix makes them incredibly desirable for species collectors and display collectors alike. This attractive cabinet specimen hosts semi-spherical, lustrous, translucent, glowing yellow groups of Brucite free of matrix. The yellow color is very strong in areas, but there are some spots that are notably without color (nearly white) on the piece as well, for a nice contrast. If you collect minerals of Pakistan, you can't afford to miss out on this really eye-catching material. Yellow is not terrible common in the mineral world, and a piece with this intense yellow hue is nearly impossible to find in any species. There might be many of these on the market right now, but they will dry up quicker than you realize, so be sure to pick up one while they're available. Priced in the inventory at $1,000.
