Titanite (twins) with ''Chlorite''

Item Description

Titanite is not often the first species that people think of when it comes to Brazilian minerals, but some of the finest quality crystals in the world come from Capelinha. Some of the best examples are well-formed twins measuring to several cm on matrix. This piece features a few classic twinned Titanite crystals measuring up to 3.6 cm, which are almost completely coated with pseudo-metallic dark grey "Chlorite" and sitting on a matrix of minor cream colored Feldspar and dark greenish-black prismatic Epidote. Minor roughness around the edges can be seen, but it's still good quality for the material. Honestly, it's rare to find a piece where the entire display side is fully coated by "Chlorite" like this in my experience.
