Brookite on Quartz (doubly terminated)This is a wonderful thumbnail specimen featuring a striking doubly terminated 7 mm crystal of Brookite that is gracefully set among sharp, gemmy, white colorless prismatic Quartz crystals. It's incredibly rare to find a doubly terminated Brookite crystal on matrix like this. This crystal has the good fortune of nearly lying flat when it formed, so both ends had room to finish growing. As you can see, the glowing reddish umber color of the crystal

A solitary

the small amount of damage is forgivable

This small cabinet size specimen features wonderful

and the best specimens are breathtaking from the standpoint of color

The two-tone effect created from the inclusions makes for an eye-catching piece as a lot of the specimens from this mine are not terribly colorful

but the lower portion of the piece is contacted where it separated from the pocket wall

and it's because of the tremendous gemminess which allows one to clearly view them whether they're on the surface or directly in the center

This specimen was mined in the late 1970’s / early 1980’s

Please note that specimens of Phosphophyllite simply are NOT seen in today's market

A good small cabinet matrix specimen with what would be considered a large crystal from Sferlun

Specimen # BOL711B60

The piece would be classified as a large thumbnail / small toenail and displays well from several angles (my favorite being the last picture)
