With the richest and deepest lemon yellow brucite color in this lot, this brucite specimen is arguably one of the most beautiful and elegant! In this case, spherical aggregates of highly lustrous and translucent, lemon yellow brucite, to 4 cm in length, have formed a perfect "Y" shape branching off of a stalk of brucite matrix. Small white calcite accents the bottom. Superb aesthetics and a volume-filling shape make this among my favorites in the size range, and a rare quality overall when most pieces do not have such good horizons or are contacted.
