Item Description

A gorgeously gemmy, sharp, floater titanite crystal from a small find 3-4 years ago from an uncommon Pakistan locale. This transparent to translucent, complex single crystal has very sharp edges, striking colors ranging olive-green to yellow to brown and the classic, sharply defined fishtail twinning plane. One sharp, opposite edge is contacted, with no damage and the other edge is lightly bruised. One of the twin edges has gentle bruising in one spot. This is a beautiful and sculptural, twinned titanite crystal, larger than most for the pocket. I thought it was valuable at the time and believe I PAID $800-1000 for this at the time, in the lot. It was said to have also some gem rough value.
