Item 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 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 a handful of fine quality, sharp, lustrous, gemmy, rich fiery red color Brookite crystals aesthetically sitting on matrix. The largest Brookite crystal measures 1.2 cm and they all show the classic internal black "phantom" that make these crystals so iconic. The main crystal is pristine, but a few of the smaller ones are contacted. A wonderful and colorful specimen of a species that is not often seen in fine quality crystals on matrix like this.
