Presenting a highly sought-after and collectible mineral specimen, weighing a precise 99 Grams (equivalent to 495 Carats). This piece is a classic association featuring the rare Titanium Dioxide mineral Anatase in combination with an aesthetic Chlorite Quartz matrix.
Sourced from the globally significant mineral deposits of Balochistan, Pakistan, this museum-grade miniature measures a precise 63 x 70 x 43 mm
Specimen Highlights:
-
Rare Anatase Crystals: Features one or more sharp, high-luster crystals of Anatase, often showing the characteristic tetragonal-pyramidal form.2 Anatase is prized by collectors for its rarity, dark color (black, blue, or red-brown), and brilliant, near-adamantine luster, which contrasts dramatically with the matrix.
-
Chlorite Quartz: The Anatase is anchored on a matrix that includes Quartz crystals with inclusions of Chlorite (giving the Quartz a desirable green hue). This combination provides a stunning color and texture backdrop.
-
Balochistan Provenance: Anatase specimens from the Kharan District in Balochistan are famous among collectors for their high quality and aesthetic association with Quartz and Albite.
