Anatase

Taftan, Chagai District, Balochistan Region, Pakistan

8×4,4×2,7 cm.  (main Anatase 1×0,7×0,7 cm.)

Great aesthetics for this series of perfectly aligned Anatase crystals, showing high luster and black to deep blue color. Anatase is known to be an “alpine-type” mineral, much studied and sought after in the European Alpine areas, but over the past two decades the district of Chagai has produced impressive specimens in terms of size and quality, comparable to European standards, and this piece can be considered highly representative of this area.
