This stunning specimen features pristine anatase crystals measuring approximately 2.3 cm in height, resting elegantly on a matrix of bright white albite. The anatase crystals display a remarkable deep, steely blue color with mirror-like luster and sharply defined edges, accentuating their high-quality formation. These crystals are pristine, showing no signs of wear or damage, which is rare for anatase specimens of this size. Set against the contrasting albite matrix, the anatase stands out vividly, making the piece both visually striking and highly desirable for collectors. Sourced from Norway, this combination of anatase on albite represents the region's exceptional mineral quality and is an impressive example of natural crystal formation.

Anatase Description

Anatase Mineral is a metastable mineral shape of titanium dioxide (TiO2) with a tetragonal crystal structure. even though colorless or white while natural, anatase in nature is often a black solid because of impurities. Other 3 polymorphs (or mineral forms) of titanium dioxide are known to occur clearly: brookite, akaogiite, and rutile, with rutile being the most commonplace and maximum solid of the bunch.

Anatase is usually located as small, isolated, and sharply advanced crystals, and prefer rutile, it crystallizes in a tetragonal system. Anatase is metastable at all temperatures and pressures, with rutile being the equilibrium polymorph. though, anatase is regularly the primary titanium dioxide section to form in lots of techniques because of its lower surface strength, with a change to rutile taking location at increased temperatures.
