The anatase crystals from this Norwegian locality are a classic of world mineralogy. They are notable for their size. In this specimen, we see a crystal formed by a tetragonal bipyramid truncated at the vertices by pinacoids. Growth contacts and some small chips can be observed, but they do not detract from the quality of the specimen. It is disopsed very aerial on a small quartz matrix.
A very sharp anatase crystal showing the tetragonal dipyramid, truncated by the pinacoidal faces. Brilliant, with almost black color but with bluish reflections, metallic luster. The crystal has a small damage in the back edge, which does not affect aesthetics. With a minor quartz crystals matrix. These crystals appear in the Alpine fissures, most of which are found in the Hardangervidda National Park. A classic European piece from many years ago.
