Item Description
A SUPERB "Alpine type" specimen featuring very lustrous, metallic grey color, radiating, "rosette"-esque groups of Ilmenite on contrasting white to colorless gem quality crystallized Albite matrix. The quality is wonderful, and this is about as good as Ilmenite gets from Pakistan. The largest "rosette" measures 1.2 cm across. No damage, and certainly very fine for the species in general.
