Item Description

Anatase specimens from this well-known Russian locale are uncommon and are rarely available. This attractive large miniature is peppered with brilliant to sparkly, textbook Anatase crystals to 2.5 mm on the display side of the layered muscovite schist matrix. These came out in the early to mid 1990s, and have never been seen again.
