Item Description

A great quality "Alpine type" specimen featuring very lustrous, metallic grey color, radiating, "rosette"-esque groups of Ilmenite with contrasting white to colorless gem quality crystallized Albite. The quality is wonderful, and this is nearly as good as Ilmenite gets from Pakistan. No real damage that I can see, and certainly very fine for the species in general. Valued at $800.
