Description

A specimen from a lesser known locality in the Hardangervidda Region: a 3 mm, excellent developped anatase crystal with many faces is set on a matrix of a fine grained, silky phyllite rock. In normal incident light the crystal exhibits a very high metallic luster, in backlight, however, it shows its wonderful blue colour. Beside the main crystal there are a few minor anatase crystals, also of intense blue colour.
