Brazilianite

Minas Gerais, Brazil - 9x3x5 cm

A brilliant and transparent crystal of Brazilianite is very well placed on a large group of clear microcline elements. The brightness and the yellow color of this isolated jewel are impressive, as well as the excellent cross location with respect to the matrix which highlights the relevant aesthetics of the crystal. No damage. This specimen (shopped at the Roma Mineral Show in 2008) was a Christmas gift from Maurizio and Stefano (thank you again, my friends!).
