This is a beautiful cabinet sized display specimen of this fine quality, desirable "Alpine-type" material from Pakistan. The main focal point of the piece is the 1.8 cm crystal gro up with sharp, lustrous, striated faces along the prism and a gorgeous reddish-orange hue with classic internal black "phantoms" that are best seen with backlighting. The crystallized Quartz surrounding the Brookites is rarely seen from this area and makes for such a lovely and eye-catching overall piece. Some of the Quartz crystals are completely colorless and transparent while others feature moss green inclusions of Clinochlore ("Chlorite") to create a wonderful contrast with the Brookites. The piece is in superb condition as the Brookites are undamaged and virtually every Quartz crystal is completely terminated. Specimen # BROOK31902 Show more
