Titanite (twins) with Adularia and "Chlorite"

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 very sharp, lustrous, light green color, tabular twinned crystals of Titanite measuring to 1.4 mm with equant crystals of Aularia on matrix. You can see that some of the crystals are completely coated by "Chlorite" (Clinochlore) while others are completely untouch. Good condition overall, despite a little roughness. These pieces are some of the most difficult to obtain from Pakistan, especially these days.
