Anatase from Twll Maen Grisial, Wales

Anatase from Twll Maen Grisial, Fron Olau, Prenteg, Dolbenmaen, Gwynedd, Wales, UK

Nice specimens of micro Anatase crystals on a quartz/albite matrix from Twll Maen Grisial, Wales.

#1, 2, and 3:

These specimens were part of Roger Harkers collection and have two of his labels glued to the perky box they come mounted in. There would have originally been a larger label with more info including previous owners on the bottom of this box, but unfortunately due to poor storage conditions this has fallen off and been lost. Unfortunately, this means there are no longer any labels naming the previous owner.

The specimen is mounted with glue into the box. Ex. Roger Harker collection.

#2 - I originally thought this was Brookite, but I think it is just an unusual viewing angle as the specimen is glue mounted and can't be rotated freely.

Magnification highly recommended on these specimens. You can see the blue crystals with the naked eye, but magnification opens up a whole new world.
