Description:This is a gorgeous specimen with perhaps the most sparkle you could ask for from a Brumado uvite. The uvites are intensely wine red and gemmy, sparkling with glassy lustre. They are red, not so dark you need a torch to show it off, too! The piece is made, though, by the contrast to the sharp rhombohedral magnesite crystals that host the uvites. Those dolomites are also brilliantly sparkly and lustrous. The combined effect is intense and striking. This is one of the most beautiful red uvite pieces we hav eseen, for overall impact, and it is valued $1000-1200
