Item Description
A tightly twinned crystal of Titanite (Sphene) from this REE locality in Pakistan. This specimen is one of the few Titanites I have seen from this area. It has a classic "wedge"-shaped form with sharp faces, good luster and decent gemminess/translucency. To top it off, the color is a rich golden hue, which is not common for the species. The piece does have some "roughness" on the edges, and it mostly a reference specimen. A decent Titanite specimen from this contemporary classic locality in Pakistan.
