Item Description
Tormiq is one of the best known Titanite localities in Pakistan, and 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 hosts a very pronounced, sharp, highly lustrous, bright green color, twinned crystal of Titanite measuring 1.2 cm on Clinochlore. This specimen is a lovely small miniature and these pieces are some of the most difficult to obtain from Pakistan.
