YELLOW BRUCITE floater - Height: 10 cm - Width: 5.5 cm- 71 g - (1)

This piece comes from the now classic find made in Pakistan a few years ago, which, as I like to say, was short but sweet, producing the best brucite specimens ever seen so far and putting this otherwise rare mineral (as far as aesthetic specimens go) on the map. Admittedly there were some previous examples of wonderful blue and white display quality brucites from other localities around the world, but nothing of this quality, color intensity and gemminess for sure. In this case, this specimen features an eccentrically shaped flat floating mass of yellow gemmy brucite arranged in intergrown botryoidal and radial crystal groups that sparkle under the light thanks to the thousands of tiny side faces of thin hexagonal brucite crystals that appear chaotically intergrown on the piece's surface.
