Dimensions: 7.7x6.8x4.6cm Origin: Killa Saifullah District, Balochistan Province, Pakistan Rare magnesium hydroxide mineral. Many pieces discovered from 2017 in Balochistan have made it possible to supply the collections on a more regular basis. The beautiful pieces of a pretty yellow with well-defined and aesthetically pleasing botryoidal crystal forms, as is the case here, are much rarer and highly prized by collectors. This nicely crystallized brucite, of a very beautiful limpid yellow, contrasts with its matrix and gives a very aesthetic whole. (Crystal diameter 1.6cm) Dimensions without the acrylic base, which is supplied with the mineralogical specimen. The mineral is not glued to the base (soft putty).
