Description/Interesting Notes:
A fantastic example of rutile after brookite from Magnet Cove!!! This specimen consists of a pair of large,
conjoined, complex brookite crystals that have been completely replaced by rutile crystals!!! Usually, in most cases
when one species replaces another it is called a pseudomorph, however in instances where both species have the same chemistry such
replacements are known as paramorphs!!! This specimen is sharp, brilliantly lustrous, undamaged and complete!!! The crystals are perched on a
small amount of matrix and display fantastically in person!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!
