Item Description

An attractive group of bronze-tan colored prismatic Anatase crystals which have good luster and excellent sharpness. They are accented by small metallic golden-brown colored Rutile crystals epitaxially overgrowing the piece. These are classic specimens, and to have two forms of Titanium Oxide together on the same piece is pretty cool. This piece is certainly better quality than many I have offered in the past. For reference, the small spot on the center of the first photo is a small Quartz crystal.
