Size Range: 
Small miniature (3-4.5 cm)

Description

Razor sharp titanite crystals of intense lustre and bottle green colour. They form isolated and very aerial clusters that are richly scattered on a matrix of pale pink feldspar and dark green amphibole that have replaced the original matrix, probably microcline. This pseudomorphosis is incomplete, originating aesthetic crystal groups that are hollow in many cases.

I acquired it to local collectors in 2009 in Imilchil.
