Item Description

A striking and beautiful, gem quality, doubly terminated and twinned titanite crystal from Capelinha. The crystal has very glassy luster and classsic, greenish-yellow color. The gemmy terminations are riveting. The matrix is actually micro titanites! One termination is pristine, while the other has a trivial bit of edgewear. Classic and desirable older material from this famous locale. Ex Robert Whitmore Collection # 486, with a 1972 date
