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 sharp, lustrous, translucent, green color, narrow tabular twinned crystals of Titanite with Adularia and Clinochlore on matrix. A very attractive small cabinet. The largest Titanite measures 1.0 cm. These pieces are some of the most difficult to obtain from Pakistan, especially these days.
