Beautiful well-formed and twinned bladed crystals of lustrous light lime to avocado green Titanite measuring to 2.5 cm on a small matrix from the Tormiq Valley in the Skardu District of Pakistan. The Titanite has an opaque core yet graduates to translucent faces with a bright and attractive glassy lustre. The crystal faces differ in that some are mirror-like and smooth while some display district V-shaped chevroned growth patterns. A great small miniature Titanite from Pakistan.
