Outstanding specimen of a large twinned gemmy, lustrous Sphene (Titanite) crystal from Capelinha, Brazil. Large Sphenes are almost impossible to get in this quality. The main crystal is an impressive 8.5cm tall and has areas of both glassy and matte luster that adds a very interesting contrast to the specimen. There are smaller Sphene crystals attached to one side, along with a few small white Albite crystals. A floater, complete all around and undamaged.
