Eosphorite on Rose Quartz (ex Irv Brown Collection)

Item Description

A showy specimen of the classic Eosphorites from Taquaral featuring sharp, lustrous, golden-brown colored, prismatic crystals measuring up to 1.0 cm aesthetically flaring off of soft pink colored Rose Quartz crystals with a colorless Quartz "core" at the center of the piece. It's really difficult to find nice free-standing crystals like this from Brazil, especially in a thumbnail. Superb quality all around, with no real damage, save the periphery where it was removed from the pocket wall. The Eosphorites from Brazil are arguably the best examples of the species in the world, and an eye-catching specimen like this is certainly hard to find. From the worldwide thumbnail / miniature collection of Irv Brown. Valued at $400.
