About the Item

Brazilianite is a phosphate mineral loved for its brilliant color and gemlike crystals. Hues range from light-yellow to electric yellow-green, making it a favorite among specimen collectors and jewelry lovers alike. The average brazilianite specimen is a single, loose crystal, which makes undamaged specimens on matrix (host rock), especially those in clusters, very rare. This is one such example, a dense cluster of lustrous, brazilianite prisms boasting a vivid chartreuse color, and vitreous translucency. The crystals have sharp form, and many of them are even doubly terminated and suspended in their matrix as if defying gravity. At the forefront of the piece is a large primary crystal that stands face-on and upright, anchoring the overall composition. Contrasting accents of white albite and pearly muscovite provide added texture while punctuating the sleek brazilianite crystals. This sculptural example would make a great addition to any collection or complement any room. H: 9.5 cm W: 8 cm D: 10 cm Wt: 397 g Item reference: #00606.

Seafoam Green Fluorite Crystal Mineral Specimen – Dongpo Ore Field, China
Located in Edison, NJ
This is an attractive example from the Dongpo Ore Field of China. The best Dongpo fluorites are known for translucent crystals with great form and an attractive light green tone. This is a prime example featuring three sharp, cuboctahedral crystals in a saturated, seafoam green tone. The fluorites have multi-stepped faces along their sides and central faces that are smooth, acting like windows into the translucent crystals. The crystals’ lustrous sheen further highlights their intricate structure. They have formed atop a contrasting matrix (host-rock) of bladed, beige dolomite crystals. The dolomite is sharp and has formed in dense intergrown rosettes. Peeking out from under the dolomite and fluorites is a shimmering matrix of druzy, white quartz that frames the piece overall. The juxtaposition of textures, colors, and species makes the already colorful fluorite crystals...
