Description

Brucite is generally a rare mineral. A few years ago first discoveries with just light yellow brucite specimen were done in Balochistan. Recently intense yellow specimen were discovered - color is a sensation for the mineral and the locality. For a short time more frequently, but we can expect that the market will absorbe this quantity very fast and soon this stuff will become a future-classic. The particular specimen shows glossy, intense colored brucite attachted to dark grey matrix. Only a very low number of specimen is on matrix, so this one stands out the crowd. Well developed even at the backside, could be displayed 360°. No significant damages to report.
