Description

Brucite is generally rare and even pale, grey samples from Pakistan were a sensation. In the past years some new material came to the market - in really fantastic color and quality. But usually Brucite from this locality formed only clusters and only in a few cases we had isolated, exposed and complete spheres. This specimen really stands out the crowd - several, exposed and complete spheres in the very best color attractively set on snowy white glossy matrix. No significant damages to report.
