Item Description
Anatase specimens from this well-known Russian locale are uncommon and are rarely on the market. This showy and sculptural, upright miniature is peppered with splendent to sparkly, textbook anatase crystals to 5 mm on the crest of the layered muscovite schist matrix. The base has been sawed to enhance the considerable display quality. These came out in the early to mid 1990s, with none since. Ex Herb Obodda dealer stock.
