Description/Interesting Notes:
An absolutely incredible example of anatase from Switzerland!!! This specimen hosts a pristine, GEM crystal of golden-orange anatase proudly perched atop the matrix in association with small crystals of
adularia and sharp crystals of darkly colored clinochlore!!! This specimen is perhaps one of the most fascinating single crystals I have seen in some time!!! The crystal has incredibly complex faces, with
one of them even being slightly concave (not unlike a steel drum!)!!! This crystal is absolutely PRISTINE with no damage whatsoever!!! The faces have brilliantly glassy luster and the crystal has
stunning gem clarity!!! The play of light and internal "glow" this crystal has is simply amazing in person!!! This is a killer example of the species indeed!!! At first glance it could even be
mistaken for a garnet crystal - however, make no mistake, this is actually an INCREDIBLE anatase crystal!!! The crystal measures an impressive 3.2mm!!! The pics
don't even come close to doing it justice!!!
Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!
STAY TUNED!!! MORE AUCTIONS
WILL BE ADDED SATURDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 5-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY JULY 15th!!!
