Wonderful, highly aesthetic specimen of lustrous lemon-yellow brucite crystals from the major find in the Kharan District of Pakistan. These new brucites have redefined quality for this unusual Magnesium mineral, previously known in generally dull, waxy green to white crystals from Pennsylvania, Russia, and South Africa. This specimen is composed entirely of lustrous brucite crystals with vibrant lemon-yellow color. It is self-standing as pictured, and has great sculptural form reminiscent of a dog laying down. Very elegant! Aesthetics are key with these, and this one is a winner. Photo by Invenio Fine Minerals

Brucite from Killa Saifullah District, Pakistan
The brucite from Killa Saifullah District is the modern locality that made a once-obscure species suddenly irresistible to fine-mineral collectors. Before the Pakistani material reached the international market, brucite was respected more often than loved: a soft magnesium hydroxide, Mg(OH)2, usually pale, waxy, fibrous, or massive, and only occasionally presentable. The Killa Saifullah finds changed that expectation with vivid lemon-yellow, translucent to gemmy botryoidal masses and rounded crystal aggregates that glow when backlit. The best pieces have a saturated color that looks almost improbable for the species, coupled with a soft internal luminosity and a sculptural, bubble-like surface.
