Item Description

This attractive Magnesite miniature from Brumado is highlighted by ribbons of bright pink crystals of Topaz, the rarest color of topaz and found so seldomly anywhere in the world! The prominent, lustrous, transparent to translucent, 4 cm across the diagonal Magnesite crystal sits atop several smaller ones and they are graced by a few bright pink, zigzagging ribbons composed of hundreds of tiny (less than 1 mm) crystals of of scintillating Topaz strung on the Magnesite like pink tinsel! Aesthetic pieces like this are extremely rare from Brumado! Unique, and from a major collection with provenance. This probably came out in the 1990s. We have seen only a handful, ever. Small...but truly mesmerizing.
