Item Description
This is one of the more impressive, aesthetic specimens of the neon-lemon yellow, world-class Brucites from Pakistan that has redefined the species in the modern era. This sculptural piece is covered in large and small, bright lemon-yellow botryoids of glossy Brucite mounded up against each other with a few outward digitations in places to create a very aesthetic piece. It is complete on the front and sides, and gorgeously translucent throughout. The back is an irregular surface with a few contacts but is not damaged as there are still small, dull lustered botryoids here. Overall, it's just an impressive and beautiful specimen for ANY display piece, but unprecedented in showmanship for a Brucite. This is a competitive level specimen worthy of sitting with any fancy gem minerals or more expensive common species, in a collection, and yet holding its own. The color is simply mesmerizing - you cannot look away. Admittedly, there are a lot of these on the market now, but things tend to come and go, and the best remain the best. This is at the top of the quality curve and when they first came out would have been priced at a fortune. Now, it might be a relative bargain for the lucky winner...
