Twinned Brown Titanite
Collection
Robert Lavinsky
Description
Beautifully perched on matrix, is a splendid, lustrous, twinned Titanite crystal almost 3 cm in length. The color is a rich brown, similar to the clove brown of Axinite, also from this locality. Flanking the Titanite on both sides are rosettes of crystallized Calcite, grayish-white in color. At the base is a crust of mm size metallic-looking, black crystals, possibly either Chalcopyrite or Goethite. Great locality miniature for this important alpine species! ex. Ernie Schlichter.
