Item Description

Here we have a great old classic European Alpine Titanite specimen. One of the best known species from the European Alps is Titanite (Sphene). This specimen is great example of what Alpine Titanite can be. This piece hosts a few, well formed, twinned crystals of grass green and golden-orange bicolor Titanite up to 1.1 cm on a matrix of Adularia covered by micro, sparkling, metallic Clinochlore crystals. This specimen dates somewhere in the late 19th Century or early 20th Century. A cool small cabinet piece with a few eye-catching Titanites.
