Item Description

A wonderful "Alpine type" specimen featuring a very lustrous, metallic silvery-gray color, radiating, "rosette"-esque group of Ilmenite with contrasting white to colorless gem quality crystallized Albite. The quality is wonderful, and this is about as good as Ilmenite gets from Pakistan. Virtually no damage, and certainly very fine for the species in general. Ex Herb Obodda dealer stock. Priced at $450.
