Description

The specimen features a sharply formed anatase crystal displaying a steel-blue to bluish-grey color with a strong submetallic to adamantine luster. The crystal shows flat, highly reflective faces and crisp edges, forming a typical bipyramidal habit characteristic of the species. Fine golden acicular inclusions, most likely rutile, are visible both on the surface and within the crystal, adding remarkable visual and mineralogical interest.
The crystal is set on a green fibrous matrix, probably composed of actinolite or chlorite, which provides an excellent chromatic and textural contrast to the cool metallic sheen and geometric perfection of the anatase.
Overall, this specimen offers a highly aesthetic and scientifically valuable micro-scene, perfectly suited for advanced micromineral collections and high-end macro mineral photography.
