Here we have a great old classic European Alpine specimen. One of the best known Alpine species from Austria is Titanite. This specimen is great example of what Alpine Titanite can be. This piece hosts a few, well formed crystals (and one very well defined twin) of pinkish tan color Titanite on Bergkristal quality Quartz. The exact locality is not known as specimens from most old Alpine localities are very difficult to match up from old collections (considering that many localities are single pockets!) This specimen dates somewhere in the late 19th Century or early 20th Century. 9.0 x 6.9 x 4.4cm
