BrookiteA very attractive miniature display specimen featuring a full 1. 4 cm, gemmy, orange sienna colored "sword" shaped crystal of Brookite that is charmingly sitting on the front edge of the host rock matrix.

The crystal is fine quality and even has a few secondary accenting crystals growing off it. Great
