Description:From the find of the Fall of 2004. These Brookite specimens are some of the finest quality "Alpine-type" Brookites in the world. Reminiscent of the finest TRUE ALPINE Brookite specimens from the Italian and Swiss Alps, these crystals are just as sharp, lustrous, gemmy and colorful. If these specimens from Pakistan were found in the Italy or Switzerland, they would be worth thousands (!) of dollars apiece to knowledgable collectors (if you could even get a European collector to part with one). That's how good they are. This particular specimen features good quality, sharp, lustrous, gemmy, red-orange color Brookite crystals with classic black "phantoms" running the length of the crystals. To top if off, the Brookites are sitting atop colorlesss, sharp lustrous Quartz crystals on matrix. A nice overall miniature of this well known material, and certainly good for the species and the locality
