Arondu, Basha Valley, Skardu district, Baltistan, Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan - Arondu is one of the lesser known Titanite localities in Pakistan, but this area has produced some top quality crystals of the species, especially some killer twins. These are "Alpine-type" Titanite crystals, and the would be worth a great deal to any Alpine collector if there were found in Austria, Italy or Switzerland. This specimen features a few sharp, thin/narrow twinned crystals of Titanite measuring up to 1.7 cm sitting on matrix. The color is actually green, but they are coated with micro Clinochlore. Good condition overall. These pieces are some of the most difficult to obtain from Pakistan, especially these days. Overall size is 4.5x4x1.3 cm. Weight is 35 gr.
