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 sharp, lustrous, soft green color, twinned crystals of Titanite measuring to 6 mm on matrix. Good condition overall, with no real damage that I can see with the naked eye. These pieces are some of the most difficult to obtain from Pakistan, especially these days.
