Mineral background
Brucite is best approached as a collector mineral rather than a generic decorative crystal. The important details are the confirmed mineral identity, locality, crystal habit, associations on the matrix and the condition shown in close photographs.
How to compare Brucite specimens
Look for yellow, white or pale platy to fibrous aggregates on matrix. A strong specimen normally shows its main crystal habit clearly from more than one angle.
Value notes
Clean yellow brucite with strong colour is more sought after than dull massive material.
Care and handling
Keep dry and handle minimally; avoid abrasion and chemicals.
