Anatase and Quartz from Llechog Ridge, Wales

Anatase and Quartz from Llechog Ridge, Llanberis, Gwynedd, Wales, UK

Nice thumbnail specimen of Anatase and Quartz from Llechog Ridge, Wales.

This locale is one of the routes up Snowdon. I am not sure whether any collecting is allowed within Snowdonia anymore.

This specimen was part of Roger Harkers collection and has three of his labels glued to the perky box it comes mounted in.

The specimen is mounted with glue into the box and there is some glue on the specimen.

The labels are glued to the box; one was loose and has been re-attached with a conservation grade tape.

Ex. Roger Harker, D. B. Hardman collections.

Magnification is essential to see the anatase; it is a very small crystal and can barely be seen with the naked eye.
