Description

Many of the known "matrix-anatases" from Binntal are somehow manipulated, therefore increased vigilance is required. So this specimen is multiple checked under microscope by me and other appreciators of Binntal minerals as well,- and it is definitely real. This superb anatase crystal is exceeding well defined, mirror bright and multifaced. It is perched on the typically matrix of Gorb. No imperfection visible to the naked eye. Matrix-anatases from Binntal are part of the holy grail of Swiss alpine minerals and therefore extremely sought.
