Titanite

Item Description

An attractive and somewhat hard to find crystal of Titanite (Sphene) on matrix from this cool REE locality in Pakistan. This specimen is one of the few Titanites I've had to offer from Zagi Mt recently. It has a classic "wedge"-shaped form with sharp faces, good luster and decent gemminess. To top it off, the color is a rich golden-orange hue, which is not common for the species. There are actually many other accenting crystals surrounding the main crystal, and it's one of the few I've seen on matrix that's in good shape. Good condition overall, and very sharp and lustrous compared to most I have seen from this area. Certainly a good representative Titanite specimen from this contemporary classic locality in Pakistan.
