A beautiful group of thin bladed fiery auburn colored Brookite crystals - with the largest measuring 1.0 cm - aesthetically flaring off sharp, lustrous, colorless Quartz crystal matrix. The Brookites are fine quality, undamaged and show gorgeous black "phantoms" which have formed attractive repeating patterns giving the piece a "tiger-stripe"-esque appearance. The most desirable combination / association from this area is to find Brookite on Quartz, but this piece is even more enticing as the some of the Quartz crystals have formed a "Faden" (German word for string) growth. Lastly, the left side of the specimen features a bit of moss green colored Clinochlore "Chlorite" inclusions creating a lovely contrast of colors. Great quality all around and so showy.
