Why Collectors Love Pakistani Brookite:
Brookite is one of the three polymorphs of TiO₂, and well-formed crystals are genuinely rare worldwide. The Kharan District material is known for sharp, lustrous blades with that distinctive “stacked” growth you see here. Pieces over 50mm with good crystal definition are hard to come by.

This specimen has excellent vertical presentation and great contrast between the dark Brookite and snowy Albite. It’s a perfect thumbnail for display cabinets or advanced collections. The acrylic base is included so it’s ready to display right out of the box.
