Description:From a new find, really much more yellow than green-yellow brazilianites are now coming out. This piece has a more pure yellow hue than you normally see. It shows off sharp crystals to 2.3 cm (about an inch!) with great glassy lustre, perched on a well trimmed shard of feldspar. The large crystal is translucent to transparent. This is a really fine miniature, and something we just happened to get lucky on at the source. So although we are risking it at auction, we do value it highly.
