Item Description
Very good specimen of transluscent Brucite from the famous Wessels Mine. I have not seen Brucite from here with this color often, it is uncommon seemingly. It is a lovely golden-wheat hue with beautiful pearly luster. The Brucite is actually present in discrete crystals up to 2 cm across arranged in stacks similar to poker-chip calcite. This is a rare habit for the species, and highly valued this. An excellent Brucite specimen of unusual color.
