Titanite : CaTi[O|SiO4]

Badakhshan (Badakshan; Badahsan) Province, Afghanistan

From a new find, this was the best example I saw at the show of these remarkably bright and gemmy titanite crystals. It is sharply twinned, and displays phenomenally either horizontal or perched to show the twinning-face forward. A most unusual thumbnail, of high quality, and better in person! 2.4 x 1.3 x 1 cm

Titanite : CaTi[O|SiO4], Allanite, Diopside : CaMg[Si2O6], Calcite : CaCO3

Mary Kathleen Mine, Mary Kathleen district, Mt Isa - Cloncurry area, Queensland, Australia

Tiny 1.5mm orange-brown titanite crystal on allanite from Mary Kathleen. A little green diopside is in the calcite to the left. An SEM microprobe analysis unsuprisingly reveals a relatively high uranium content, given its provenance:

MgO 1.31%
Al2O3 3.69%
SiO2 33.57%
CaO 25.13%
TiO2 29.18%
FeO 4.79%
UO3 1.64%
