Item Description

This is an attractive miniature specimen featuring sharp, lustrous, well-formed, gemmy, yellow green color, crystals of Brazilianite measuring up to 2.5 cm with additional Brazilianites on bladed Albite matrix. The quality is good on this piece and it is pretty gemmy and not at all "crazed" like many from this area. From the collection of Rolando Gioia (a contributor to new definitive book on Brazilian minerals: "Minerais e Pedras Preciosas do Brasil").
