The Brookite cluster stand proudly on matrix with remarkable colour and very beautiful phantom inclusions. This allows us to savor its excellent shape a characteristically thin, tabular form with linear striations; its lavish, red-brown, mahogany color and great translucency. It also has incredible phantom and an hourglass-shaped inclusion that is characteristic of the find. Those who see it are often surprised and delighted to find it to be nature’s own optical illusion. It is completely fine with sharp termination and really awesome display.
