Sharp. lustreous and damage free the largest Sphene is 3.7 CM long. All larger crystals are twinned, estheticaly placed on the matrix and have top deep green color. The matrix itself is a carpet of sparkling micro crystals of Epidote, Clinozoisite and Titanite. This is fine specimen by any standard and this locality has not produced much of note for many years. Could be trimmed to a competition grade miniature but I like it as is.
