They show great luster and very well defined faces and edges, with a distinct color change that shows an intense yellow under LED light and greenish under natural or fluorescent tube light.
The process of substitution of Ilmenite by Rutile here seems very similar to that already known in other locations with similar geological conditions (for example the Rutile from Zambia) and is due to hydrothermal processes associated with the deposit. These specimens, very different from the titanites previously known from Imilchil, have undergone urgent analysis that we plan to continue to carry out in more depth. We will send the buyer the information and documentation obtained so far, as well as a copy of the analyses carried out on the species present in the current specimens.

EL28AD7: A novelty at Sainte Marie-aux- Mines 2016. Characteristically platy Ilmenite crystals with irregular contour and completely pseudomorphed by Rutile, coated by very sharp Titanite crystals that are bright, with very well defined faces and edges, and with a very apparent pleochroism that shows a yellow color under led light but is greenish with natural or neon light.
The process of replacement of Ilmenite by Rutile seems very similar to that of other localities with similar geological conditions (by example the Zambian Rutile) and it is due to hydrothermal processes at the site. These samples, very different from the Titanite previously known at Imilchil, have required a hurried analytical process that we’ll extend and complete. We’ll send to the buyer the information and documentation previously obtained about the process and also a copy of the analyses done on the different species present in these samples.
