Titanite with Rutile after Ilmenite, Microcline
specimen number:
5002915
location:
Imilchil, Anti-Atlas, Er Rachidia, Meknes-Tafilalet, Morocco
description:
A very interesting specimen, this consists of a large flattened crystal of what was once colemanite, this now replaced by rutile. Scattered richly throughout are lustrous green crystals of titanite measuring to almost 1.5 cm in size. Minor microcline is present as well. This is crystallized completely all around and in great condition. Collected in 2016. I think that mineralogically this is a really cool specimen.
