Item Description
Brucite is rare from any of the seven Nevada localities, that MINDAT lists for the species. This rich and aesthetic miniature plate is covered with very sharp, transparent to translucent, pastel-yellow to white, large blades with waxy luster of this rarely crystallized species. The blades reach 1.4 cm and they are pristine. The piece looks great from either side. Rare material in this quality.
