Superb titanite specimen from the Austrian alps! 2 sharp and super-glossy twinned titanites rest on a calcite and chlorite matrix, one lying and one standing upright in the center. Both have excellent quality and no damage. Both of them show an amazing colour change from predominating brown and yellow hues in natural daylight to a deeply glowing orange tones in warm artificial light. The crystal in the center is gemmy and so incredibly brilliant, it is indeed amazing in person! Collected 2006. I consider this cutie the best specimen from the pocket. What a superb piece!
