Description: Mass: 249 g MIM number:2064 Aggregate of flattened lustrous crystals forming a ring, which is a very original form for this prolific brucite discovery. The color of the crystals is an intense yellow, which is the best color of this find. A little matrix at the bottom of the specimen is reminiscent of how this brucite was formed by leaching the gray magnesian rock which constitutes it. Photographer: AINU / Augustin de Valence
