Gemmy Brazilianite (circa 1940s - Type Locality)

Item Description

This very fine Brazilianite crystal is MUCH MORE GEMMY in person. The photos do not convey well the rich color or the special gemminess of this piece. Sharp, gemmy, yellow-green euhedral brazilianite crystals from the famous namesake Type Locality are highly desirable. This well-formed crystal is very glassy, has bright luster and is nicely accented with muscovite at the base and on the bottom. The out-of-sight back is contacted and dinged. This very fine miniature is from the original finds of the 1940s and are valued highly. This is a gorgeous, classic crystal with the unique color from those old finds that has not been equaled since! 69 grams mass, so a nice sized miniature with cutting value, as well. Valued at $2000.
