Brookite Topaz Some well-crystallized and translucent light

Some well-crystallized and translucent light yellow color Wavellite “balls” are intermixed with gemmy

The modified termination along with the high luster and saturated golden hue all come together to create a stellar thumbnail specimen of a species that most people are familiar with but rarely have a good representation in their collections

but it also has somewhat of an organic quality to it as well

This particular specimen is from my own personal collection

which grades into the classic Himalaya bubblegum pink and gives way to a thin “straw” colored area

Brookite Topaz Some well-crystallized and translucent lightAn attractive miniature display specimen which plays host to a 9 mm, gemmy, lustrous, sharp "sword" shaped crystal of rich burnt sienna colored Brookite associated with a few secondary Brookites and a handful of gemmy, colorless Quartz prisms on matrix. The main Brookite is undamaged and is actually intergrown (bisected) with a smaller Brookite that created an interesting form at the base. A beautiful miniature sized display specimen of these
