Item Description

Brucite specimens from around the world are found in many different hues, but some rare YELLOW specimens have come out within the last few years from the Killa Saifullah area in Pakistan. These are some of the most vividly colored Brucites you'll find. Most specimens of Brucite from other world localities are a bit on the pastel side, so when these brilliant yellow pieces started to come out, it really caught the attention of collectors. 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 fine quality, semi-spherical, lustrous, translucent, yellow groups of Brucite with very minor attched matrix. 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.
