Item Description

Nowadays, the Russian Titanites are seen with an increasingly less amount of frequency as a few years ago. This is a very aesthetic specimen, with sharp, well-formed, twinned, brownish-tan crystals of Titanite on Calcite. A very flashy specimen with great balance and three-dimensional appearance. This is "Alpine-type" material, and really hard to find one the market. The largest crystal measures 1.9 cm long, virtually no damage. Valued at $600.
