Brookite on Quartz

Item Description

From a find in late 2010. 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 Alps, these crystals are just as sharp, lustrous, gemmy and colorful. If the best of 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 a few, tabular, sharp, lustrous, gemmy, deep flame red-orange color Brookite crystals with classic black "phantoms" inside sitting on Quartz matrix. The largest Brookite measures around 3 mm. A wonderful and colorful specimen of a species that is not often seen in gemmy crystals like this.
