Description

Among the most classic minerals from Liguria there is brookite. This specimen does not come from the classic Monte Bregaceto, but it does come from the classic locality of Scoglina Pass.

A very elegant chisel shaped, thin, brown crystal among drusies of white quartz. Good lustre, this brookite is slightly over 1 mm across and it beautifully displays the central dark core (glasuhr-like) going through its entire c-axis.

The specimen was recovered from a very closed vein, and this final little matrix chip is the result of an intense trimming work of the hard rock. Delicate, I will make sure the packaging is appropriate.
