Summary

Description
English: Titanite, Quartz, Hematite, Adularia
Locality: Arondu (Arundu; Arandu), Basha Valley (Basha Nala; Basna), Skardu district, Baltistan, Northern Areas, Pakistan (Locality at mindat.org)
Size: 3.7 x 2.3 x 1.8 cm.
Pakistan has produced a great variety of Titanite specimens, in a great range of colors and habits. Some of the varying finds include disc-like, tabular pinkish crystals and steep, honey colored wedge shaped crystals, but the most popular and attractive of all the habits of Titanite from this locality would have to be the rich grass green twinned crystals on Orthoclase (var: Adularia). These are "Alpine-type" Titanite crystals, and would be worth a great deal to any Alpine collector if there were found in Austria, Italy or Switzerland. In fact, these specimens are so indicative of true Alpine pieces, one can sometimes have a great deal of difficulty trying to discern which pieces are from Pakistan and which are from the Alps. This specimen features a very pronounced, sharp, highly lustrous, rich green color, twinned crystal of Titanite associated with a very gemmy, "Alpine"-quality, sharp, lustrous, doubly-terminated Quartz crystal which is included with silvery-black Hematite and sitting atop beautiful sharp, lustrous, porcelain-white Orthoclase (var: Adularia) crystal matrix.
