Item Description

A few years ago, there was a find of superb "Alpine-type" quality Brookite and Anatase specimens from the Kharan District of Pakistan. The Anatase specimens found at this locality are some of the finest quality pieces to be found in the modern era of minerals. This particular specimen features a few very sharp, highly lustrous, well formed tetragonal crystal of Anatase with a rarely seen golden color that can be seen just under the surface of the crystal when viewed in strong lighting. The largest crystal measures 1.0 cm and is associated with minor matrix creating a nice thumbnail display specimen. This is a good quality Anatase specimen from any locality.
