Item Description

A striking, sharp, 2.0 cm, twinned titanite crystal is dramatically set atop mounded matrix richly covered with glassy, colorless calcite rhombs. The highly lustrous, glassy twin has root beer edges with bronzy-brown interior faces. A few scattered smaller titanites add pizzazz. The calcites reach 1.8 cm on the diagonal and have moderate pink fluorescence. Such combinations in this quality are RARE from the famous Dodo Mine and this is an exceptional 360-degree and pristine example from the Herb Obodda Collection # 1246. Valued at $1000-1250 for combination rarity and high quality.
