Product Description
Dimensions: 65 × 40 × 25 mm | Weight: 52.2 g | Origin: Pakistan
This specimen consists of chlorite-coated quartz crystals growing on a dark, layered metamorphic matrix, with a single Brookite blade positioned between the crystal terminations. The quartz crystals are large and prismatic, with a muted sage-green surface tone produced by a chlorite coating distributed across the crystal faces and edges. Under lighting, the crystal faces show clear definition and the terminations are intact across the piece.
The Brookite blade is tabular and sharp-edged, displaying a deep red-orange coloration with visible internal banding when light passes through it. It sits protected within the arrangement of quartz blades, which helps preserve its form. The matrix is dark and layered, consistent with a metamorphic host rock, and provides a stable base for the specimen.

Quality & Faceting Notes
The quartz crystals on this specimen are collector-grade display pieces. The chlorite coating is surface-distributed and does not affect the structural integrity of the crystals. Crystal faces are well-defined with visible growth striations on the prism faces. The Brookite blade is intact with no visible fractures to the blade body.
Chlorite quartz can be faceted when sourced as clean, inclusion-free rough — however, this matrix specimen is not suitable for cutting. Brookite (Mohs hardness ~5.5–6, TiO₂ polymorph) can occasionally be faceted from gem-quality crystals, but Pakistan matrix specimens like this one are collected primarily for display. The deep red-orange colour in Brookite comes from its titanium dioxide composition and orthorhombic crystal structure.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between chlorite quartz and green quartz (prasiolite)?
A: Chlorite quartz gets its green colour from chlorite mineral inclusions coating or growing inside the crystal, while prasiolite (green quartz) is amethyst or citrine that has been heat-treated to produce a green tone. Chlorite quartz is naturally coloured with no treatment involved.
Q: How should a Brookite mineral specimen be stored and handled?
A: Brookite is relatively hard (Mohs ~5.5–6) but the blades can be brittle. Store it away from minerals that could chip the edges, avoid impact, and handle it by the matrix rather than the crystal blade to preserve the form.
Q: What does "on matrix" mean for a mineral specimen?
A: "On matrix" means the mineral crystals are still attached to the host rock they formed on, rather than being removed and presented loose. Matrix specimens show the natural growth context of the crystals and are generally preferred by collectors for display purposes.
