Titanite (Sphene) - gemmy crystals (Ref: AC-366)
Campo do Boa mine, Capalinha, Minas Gerais, Brazil
59mm x 38mm x 31mm
minID: 3MC-18H
A brazillian specimen that was mined over 25 years ago. Very sharp, glassy twinned Sphenes on matrix up to 2.5 CM on matrix. The matrix is also covered on both sides with a druse of micro Titanite crystals that sparkle nicely. Some of the tiny Titanites seem to be untwinned which is rather rare but is known in a few specimens from this locale. The main crystals are well exposed from the matrix and show well from several angles. Some damage and contacts can be found on close exam but these do no stand out. The price reflects this, a good value for a very displayable specimen. From: Well-Arranged Molecules
