Titanite (twin)

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 pronounced, 2.1 cm sharp, very lustrous, translucent, green color, tabular twinned crystal of Titanite with smaller twinned Titanites on matrix. A very attractive large miniature / small cabinet despite a nick on the main crystal. It's hard to find free-standing Titanite twins on matrix like this. These pieces are some of the most difficult to obtain from Pakistan, especially these days. Priced at $650.
