Description

Unique single, dark brown-black titanite crystal - a floater. Very glossy, but opaque. Some purple fluorite in little cavities on the crystal. The surface looks partly melted - I guess due to the strong radiation (also the dark color). A very rare opportunity. The mine is permanaently closed, collecting impossible.
