Description

Razor sharp titanite crystals of intense glassy lustre and bottle green colour. They form isolated and very aerial clusters that are richly scattered on a matrix of pale pink feldspar 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.
