Titanite

Item Description

Arondu is one of the lesser known Titanite localities in Pakistan, but this area has produced some top quality crystals of the species, especially some killer twins. These are "Alpine-type" Titanite crystals, and the would be worth a great deal to any Alpine collector if there were found in Austria, Italy or Switzerland. This specimen features a sharp, lustrous, translucent, yellow green color, narrow tabular bladed crystals of Titanite measuring up to 1.8 cm with Adularia and minor pale golden tabular hexagonal Aaptite on matrix. An attractive small cabinet despite a small nick on the side of the largest crystal. These pieces are some of the most difficult to obtain from Pakistan, especially these days.
