Item Description

A good representative Anatase specimen from the Lapcha Mine in Russia. The piece hosts a few, sharp, lustrous, gemmy, blue and yellow bicolor crystals sitting on a partial, milky Quartz crystal. The largest Anatase measures 8 mm, and I have photographed them under the microscope to better illustrate their quality. Not common on the market anymore, and worthwhile to add to a reference collection.
