Description

Three orange titanite crystals, with the classic wedged habitus, populate this corner of chloritized quartz. Titanite is of a good saturated orange color and very good lustre. The association with the glittery, deep green chlorite, in addition to the white altered granite, provides an excellent color contrast.

A cute thumbnail specimen in excellent conditions. In my collection since 20 years (!).
