Description
Anatase from Norway is considered among the world´s best of the species. Looking at this 1.7 cm tall thumbnail it easy to understand why. Textbook tetragonal crystal form with characteristic striation on the pyramid faces, truncated terminations and a top metallic luster. The crystal seems opaque black, however, with a strong light and under a magnification it is blue green with tiny a bit of translucency. The crystal has contact on the back and there are only few minor bits of edge wear. A very fine, aesthetic thumbnail.
