Excellent twinned crystals of the calcium titanium nesosilicate Titanite from the Mullwitz Aderl in the Obersulzbach Valley of Austria. Mullwitz Aderl is one of the smaller sub-peaks on the upper slopes of the Gro'venediger (Grossvenediger) mountain. Twinned crystals of Titanite measuring to 1 cm form as crystals with lustrous and gemmy, pastel yellow-green centres with deep olive-green edges. Some Titanite crystals are quite platy in habit, associated with white micro-crystals of Adularia, on a Mica-Schist matrix. An excellent miniature of Titanite from this location near to Salzburg.
