Flattened crystal groupings of what were once ilmenite, these now replaced by crystallized rutile and mostly coated by lustrous crystals of dark green titanite. Crystallized microcline is scattered throughout. From the mineralogical standpoint, this is really interesting. Attractive as well and in great condition.
