This striking Brookite specimen from the Kharan Mountains of Pakistan is an exceptional example of one of the most exciting finds of Brookite, which produced some of the finest specimens of the species. The Brookite crystal stands proudly at a 90-degree angle, face-on and upright, on a beautiful cluster of pristine chlorine Quartz matrix. This positioning allows full appreciation of its characteristic thin, tabular form with linear striations. It has a rich red-brown mahogany color.

Notably, the crystal features black lines and an hourglass-shaped inclusion—a distinctive trait of the find, highly sought after by collectors. This unique inclusion adds depth and dimension to the crystal, creating an optical illusion that fascinates those who view it. The symmetry of the Brookite is beautifully mirrored by the bright green quartz matrix, accented by chlorine Quartz crystals. The contrast between the sleek, elegant crystal and the vibrant matrix makes for a dynamic and visually compelling display, ideal for any fine mineral collection.
