Description |
Two lustrous, translucent, rich yellow-green Sphene crystals are aesthetically set in sculptural matrix of bladed Muscovite rosettes and Albite on this fine specimen from the well-known Tormiq Valley of Pakistan. The alpine clefts at Tormiq have produced a wide array of very fine minerals and this is certainly one. Both crystals are pristine and the right crystal is sharply twinned. |
