Sphene (Twinned)
This is a superb, twinned, lustrous, and somewhat gemmy sphene from the Gamsberg mines known more for rutile than anything gemmy. It is very 3-dimensional and complete all around, and would be good even by Brazilian standards! But for Namibia, its even more a killer - and sitll competes even by worldwide standards! This twin exhibits unusual symmetry, and in this regard is a bit different in aspect from the more "winged"-looking twins characteristic of Pakistan and Brazil. It has a few small bits of edge wear, but is really overall in fine shape.
