Description Two lustrous, translucent, rich yellow-green Sphene crystals are aesthetically set in sculptural matrix of bladed Muscovite rosettes and Albite on this fine specimen from the well-known Tormiq Valley of Pakistan. The alpine clefts at Tormiq have produced a wide array of very fine minerals and this is certainly one. Both crystals are pristine and the right crystal is sharply twinned.
Size 4.0 x 2.8 x 2.0 cm.
Locality Tormiq valley, Haramosh Mts., Skardu District, Baltistan, Northern Areas, Pakistan
