Titanite (Sphene) Crystals with Calcite & Amphibole – Zagi Mts, Pakistan

This listing is for a natural Titanite (also known as Sphene) crystal specimen with associated calcite and amphibole minerals, sourced from the Zagi Mountains in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK), Pakistan, a region noted for producing fine accessory and collector minerals.

Titanite is a titanium silicate mineral that crystallizes in the monoclinic system, typically forming wedge‑shaped crystals with adamantine to sub‑vitreous luster. The specimen exhibits a cluster of titanite crystals with golden to brownish hues characteristic of natural sphene, with visible calcite and amphibole mineral growths adding contrast and textural interest. Crystals appear to show natural terminations and a variety of habits, with no obvious artificial enhancements or mounted repairs visible from the available listing images.

The presence of calcite suggests secondary mineral formation within the host rock environment, while amphibole phases contribute darker tones and fibrous habits that enhance the specimen’s visual appeal. Overall clarity and luster vary across the crystal faces, typical of naturally formed titanite and associated minerals, and the specimen remains attached to remnants of its original geological matrix.

Exact specimen dimensions and weight are not provided in the eBay description; interested buyers should contact the seller for measurements.

This piece is highly suitable for mineral collectors, display collectors, and those studying accessory mineral associations in metamorphic and igneous environments. Its mixed mineralogy makes it useful in educational contexts for demonstrating crystal habits and intergrowths.
