Description

This is an oustanding rarity from only one cleft, discoverd last summer. The locality is not located in Pinzgau, where titanite usally were found. This is East Tyrol and Kristallwand produced only very low quantity of titanite, most material of poor quality and this is a very good dimension for Kristallwand. Now about quality - it couldn´t be better. The crystal shows razor sharp termination, it shows high clarity, color is like cognac with vibrant internal zoning, luster is excellent. The crystal is developed as floater, no significant damages to report.
