I am afraid that I must disagree with Carles. Of course I have not seen these crystals, only the photos Antonio posted, but I can see no twins in the first three and I doubt there is one in the fourth. I also trust Antonio that he can examine the crystals and determine if there are twins there or not. His crystals appear to be virtually identical to mine and there is no twin on mine.

Hi John, really I cannot discuss your affirmation on a picture, Probably you are right. My comment is only a personal suggestion induced by the disposition of the thin lateral faces (face?), that seems to show a slight geometrical change of aspect (right ant left, on the photography).

Well, I know the typical twin of a titanite, like the example you have posted, John. Obviously there is no V-shaped twin like this on my crystal. Just I thought -as Jesse or Carles pointed- there could be some slightest signs of another kind of twin. If the V-shaped is the unique twin known for titanite, my crystal is untwinned.
