This titanite specimen features twinned crystal with lustrous faces, deviating from the more common tabular, wedge-shaped form. It originates from the Smart Mine, also known as the "Miller Property," a well-known calcite vein-dyke system once mined for fluorapatite, historically valued as a phosphate fertilizer source. The locality is celebrated among collectors for producing unique mineral formations. This titanite crystal captures these fascinating characteristics, exemplifying the geological complexity and mineral diversity of the classic Grenville region.
