This is an aesthetic cluster of glassy and gemmy, light yellow green brazilianite crystals, to 2.4 cm in length. The large crystal is very impressive. Brazilianites from Brazil are considered iconic for the species but there are distinct "old" and "new" styles with different forms and color. This is from a single pocket of the "new" style Brazilianites found in 2020. Contrary to other pockets found in the last decade, the pieces from this one have super luster, gemminess, and stand out much more than other finds. This piece masses in at 19.6 grams.
