Description:Tormiq is one of the best known Titanite localities in Pakistan, and 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 hosts a very pronounced, sharp, highly lustrous, bright green color, twinned crystal of Titanite measuring 1.2 cm on Clinochlore. This specimen is a lovely small miniature and these pieces are some of the most difficult to obtain from Pakistan.
