Brookite on QuartzThis 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 group 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

but considering the great size

giving the viewer several spots on the piece to enjoy the crystals

even if they are micro crystallized
