This 1.55 carat terminated red brookite crystal originates from Pakistan, displaying sharp crystal form and rich reddish color. Brookite is one of the rare titanium dioxide polymorphs and is highly prized among collectors for its distinctive crystallization and rarity. The termination enhances its aesthetic appeal, making it a fine example of this unusual mineral.
Brookite belongs to the TiO₂ (titanium dioxide) group and is less common than its polymorphs rutile and anatase. Typically found in alpine-type deposits and high-pressure metamorphic rocks, notable sources of brookite include Pakistan, Switzerland, Brazil, and Arkansas (USA). Its deep reddish to brown tones combined with transparency and luster make brookite crystals especially attractive for collectors.
Due to its small size yet excellent crystal formation, this specimen is ideal for collectors who value rare terminated crystals and unusual mineral species. Its natural titanium composition and rarity ensure it stands out in any mineral collection.
