Item Description
A 1.0 cm, splendent, sharp, striated, gun metal-blue, anatase crystal is jauntily set on brecciated quartz-rich matrix on this very showy and excellent specimen from recent finds at Kharan, Pakistan. A few smaller crystals are scattered about. These superb crystals have been trickling out of Pakistan over the last couple of years, but are rare in this quality. They compare very favorably with Norwegian anatase.
