Brucite

Item Description

Juicy, glassy, translucent, lemon-yellow brucite botryoids cover the matrix on this dramatic and colorful two-sided small cabinet specimen from Pakistan. The striking accenting "sail" is either lighter colored brucite or prehnite. Brucite, Mg-hydroxide, is found in metamorphic rocks and metasediments, in marbles and magnesian skarns. An excellent, highly representative example of the species and find.
