Twinned gemmy crystals of Titanite on contrasting white Adularia crystals. A classic assemblage of Alpine cleft type minerals, this is an attractive and well-crystalized piece with a 2 CM Titanite. The Titanite is transparent in large part though some areas have inclusions that make it more translucent. The crystal is the type sometimes called a "drill bit twin" and shows this habit very well.
