Anatase ("Alpine-type") ex Obodda

Item Description

These recent anatase specimens are some of the finest quality "Alpine-type" anatase in the world. Reminiscent of the finest TRUE ALPINE Anatase specimens from the Alps or even the top quality "Alpine-type" specimens from Norway, these crystals are just as sharp, lustrous and perfect! If these specimens from Pakistan were found in Italy, Switzerland or Norway, they would be worth thousands! of dollars a piece to knowledgeable collectors (if you could even get a European collector to part with one). That's how good they are. This particular aesthetic specimen hosts a well-placed, razor-sharp, lustrous, doubly-terminated, deep inky blue color anatase crystal measuring 1.1 cm, on quartz-rich matrix. A top corner of the anatase is even gemmy. Nearly pristine, only extremely trivial edge wear is noted, A great crystal on a wonderfully contrasting matrix, and a very good miniature specimen. Ex Herb Obodda dealer stock. Valued at $500.
