Description

Small but a jewel! The specimen is a floater, the termination is razor-sharp and luster is on highest possible level all around. The color is intense brown to nearly red, minor greenish tones are also present. This crystals represents the very best quality from the locality. Usually titanites were found in an other county - in Salzburg, from Tyrol they are very rare! Also the color is exceptional - most specimen are green; the cognac-colored variety is very uncommon. So really everything is outstanding about this crystal - locality, crazy good saturation and quality. A perfect, eye-catching thumbnail!
