Description

Doubly terminated highly lustrous anatase crystals on matrix. They were a complete surprise when they appeared on the market some ten years ago. Before that similar anatase was coming only from the Norvegian Hardangervidda National Park with quite limiting restrictions for collecting, but here they became available to everyone who wanted to have one in collection. Nowadays even these are hard to get in good quality. The crystals have a simple bipyramidal habit with truncated terminations with basal pinacoid. The cluster of two crystals on this specimen shows one anatase with split termination due to some parallel growth of two crystals side by side. the luster of anatase is overwhelming.
