Item Description

Exceptional 6 mm crystal of Davidite on a gneissic granite from the Piedmont region of Italy. This single crystal is lustrous and sharp, and probably the best (for its size) example of this complex titanate that I have seen. Originally priced at $400, over 20 years ago from Western Minerals, and it seems worth that today at the least.
