ANATASE on QUARTZ - Taftan, Balochistan, top PAKISTAN

Anatase on Quartz
Taftan, Balochistan, Pakistan
5.1 x 4.3 centimeters

Sharp crystals of anatase nicely contrasted by quartz in the classic "alpine style". These specimens were produced in small amounts in the early 2000's from a locality better known for it's fine brookite. Unlike most of the specimens I've seen from this occurance, the anatase is associated with clean colorless to white quartz making for a top nice display.
