Item Description

A gorgeously gemmy, sharp, very large titanite crystal from a small find 3-4 years ago from an uncommon Pakistan locale. This transparent to translucent, complex single crystal has very sharp edges, striking colors ranging olive-green to yellow to brown and the classic, sharply defined fishtail twinning plane. A couple of edges are contacted, with minimal bruising and one end is bruised. These have minimal impact on the dramatic large size of this crystal. This is a beautiful and sculptural, twinned titanite crystal, the largest we obtained from the pocket. I thought it was valuable at the time and believe I PAID $1000-1500 for this at the time, in the lot. It was said to have also some gem rough value. 202 grams.
