Anatase with Rutile (ex Brian Kosnar Collection)

Item Description

An attractive group of silverish-tan colored prismatic Anatase crystals which have good luster and excellent sharpness. They are accented or partially replaced by by small metallic golden-brown colored Rutile crystals and associated with grey Quartz. I have photographed the crystals under the microscope to better illustrat their quality. These are classic specimens, and to have two forms of Titanium Oxide together on the same piece is pretty cool. This piece is certainly more three-dimensional than those I have encountered in the past.
