Description
This specimen features a 1-inch, extremnely bright, glassy, gemmy brazilianite crystal perched perfectly on a very sculptural combination of muscovite and white feldspar. I nperson, the crystal is both brighter and gemmier. You just could not ask for a more aesthetic and showy miniature matrix brazilianite, I think! This is the classic form and style of the old, original brazilianites found in the 1940s, but so FEW of them were on good matrix, and even fewer are now available to today's collectors. Obtained recently in a trade, this is a choice miniature from the Irv Brown collection which he trimmed down from a larger specimen himself. It has not previously been on the market.

Brazilianite Sales Data
How this data is collected: Our system continuously monitors mineral listings from authorized dealer partners across the internet. We have explicit permission from all dealers whose listings we track - any dealers who have not provided specific and explicit authorization are NOT listed and NOT tracked by our system. When a previously available listing is marked as sold or removed from sale, we record this as a completed transaction. While we cannot guarantee the exact final sale price (as negotiations may occur), this data represents publicly listed prices for specimens that have transitioned from "for sale" to "sold" status. This provides valuable market insights based on observable listing behavior patterns.
