Description

Amazing combination!

Fine quality chromian titanite crystal, with an interesting shape, intensive green colour (measuring 1.3 cm). Bright Cr-Titanite crystal contrasts nicely against very dark green clinochlore crystals which show the alexandrite effect. In the central part of the specimen, there is massive white calcite, which lightens the whole composition.

The specimen is very showy in person!
