Brucite (fine rare yellow color)

Item Description

Brucite chemically is magnesium hydroxide, which has been mined for its magnesium content, useful refractory and thermal insulator. The species has been found in many places around the world in a myriad of colors, but they are often softer, more pastel hues. In recent years, there has been a discovery of fine rare YELLOW Brucite specimens from the Killa Saifullah area in Pakistan, and they are some of the most vividly colored Brucites you'll find. 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 small cabinet specimen hosts semi-spherical, lustrous, translucent, bright lemon yellow groups of Brucite with minor attached matrix. When backlit, the piece GLOWS with color. If you collect minerals of Pakistan, don't miss out on this really eye-catching material. Yellow is not terribly common in the mineral world, especially this particular hue of yellow. 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.
