Perched aesthetically on a matrix of white albite are three graduated crystals of glassy and gemmy, light yellow green brazilianite, to 2.6 cm in length. The largest crystal is at the back while the smallest crystal is at the front. Very pretty! This masses in at 21.2 grams. This is from a new pocket found in 2020 that was full of high quality, lustrous brazilianites - a level of quality not seen in the past decade form other finds from the same locality.
