Description

A vein specimen featuring red tabular crystals of brookite on white quartz. Excellent color and lustre from the crystals, and outstanding contrast with the surrounding quartz. Main brookite appears to have a missing termination, which is not clearly evident because subparallel to what is supposed to be.

Great contrast for this classic specimen, dated back to several years ago. I have purchased it last May from an Italian collector of classic specimens, and its striking contrast truly impressed me. The locality is strictly off limits for collecting.
