RM3556   Anatase
TiO2

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.

Size: 1.9 x 1.6 x 1.1 cm.
Main crystal: 1.6 x 1 cm.
