Description

Contrastful classic Swiss assemblage consisting of bicolor green-brown titanite crystals protruding out of a bed of grey-green chloritized adularia.
Titanite is interesting, as it appears to be slightly rounded on the edges, almost as it was in disequilibrium with the system and partly leached out. Quite odd, especially from Sedrun.

Former Weber collection (CH), assembled in the first mid of 1900s.
