Small, well formed, peach/pink colored Titanite crystals on a bed of small, druze black Andradite crystals. The Titanite crystals have a good, glossy luster and are semi gemmy. The color may due to the presence of manganese and might be considered to be the variety: Greenovite. The black color of the Andradite is due to the presence of Titanium and is known as Melanite. This is an obscure location from which specimens are seldom available.

Condition: Very Good

Flaws: There are a couple of imcomplete Titanite crystals near the edge of the specimen.
