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 is of a style more robust and thick, than the following piece....they really complement nicely an dI could discount 10% for the pair of them to keep them together.
