Boracite (rare colors) Bolivia the color of the Brookites

the color of the Brookites is a deep orange-red (best seen with backlighting) which contrasts wonderfully with the black "phantoms"

especially when compared to older specimens from 70 years ago which were riddled with damage and had poor aesthetics

A six-inch display specimen from Sferlun is certainly hard to come by and the majority of the hundreds of crystals on this attractive specimen are damage free

In addition to the good quality of the Wavellites
