Some fine differences between the twin $b$-flavored unitarity triangles are calculated by means of a generalized Wolfenstein parametrization of the CKM matrix, and a possibility of experimentally establishing the second triangle is briefly discussed. We find that the apexes of these two triangles, characterized respectively by $(overline{rho}, overline{eta})$ and $(widetilde{rho}, widetilde{eta})$, are located on the same circular arc in the complex plane. This observation provides us with a new way to test consistency of the CKM picture of CP violation in the quark sector and probe possible new physics. The differences between the apexes (i.e., $widetilde{rho} - overline{rho}$ and $widetilde{eta} - overline{eta}$) are found to be of ${cal O}(lambda^2)$ with $lambda simeq 0.22$ being the Wolfenstein expansion parameter, and the shapes of these two triangles are found to be insensitive to the two-loop renormalization-group-equation running effects up to the accuracy of ${cal O}left(lambda^4right)$.
