Sorry, we have no images of this specimen at present.

WOW! Qualitywise, this is a KILLER for the locality. Sharp and with golden highlights. A little small, but the quality makes it worth owning anyhow

A very old anatase from Brazil, classic in crystal habit but unusual in that this is a cluster, which is rare! ex. American Museum of Natural History , Clarence Bement collection, donated in 1910 (label is present, just not shown)

A huge, fat, 2.6-cm-long anatase hanging smartly from a well-trimmed matrix makes this a very significant and large example of the species. The crystal is well-exposed, amazingly showing both terminations. Despite this it is nearly pristine, with just one small edge chip on the bottom termination, otherwise complete. Formerly in the Paul Stahl and Robert Nowakowski collections. Joe Budd photos.

This bizarre specimen features a very unusual hollow anatase crystal of 1.5 cm next to an adjacent crystal of more typical habit. I have never seen anything quite like this. It is possible the anatase we see is a cast after an earlier generation, or even after a zircon perhaps, but I am not sure. The crystals sit on a quartz crystal (broken at either end but intact on the display face). In any case, the material has been analyszed and it is anatase now - a whopping huge one for Brazil, I would say. (obviously not a Jonas tourmaline but it fit in well with this update and was also at Munich...)

Outstanding, and truly first-tier, combination piece of a fabulous Anatase balanced upon a gemmy, pristine, Quartz crystal. Normally, the Anatases you see associated with Quartz are less than 1 cm, but this lustrous, euhedral bipyramid is an astounding 2.7 cm in length. The presentation faces are shiny, striated, and very sharp. There is some contacting on the base of the reverse side, but that is where it grea against matrix and it is otherwise complete. Considering the sharp, gemmy Quartz, and the magnificient Anatase-of-huge-size, this is just a killer! To me, it is one of the finest pieces in this collection. It is a toenail sized specimen (either a large thumbnail or a small miniature depending on how you angle it for display) ex Sam Nasser collection. Specimens like this are stunning examples of this unusual species, seldom seen. it is top tier.


MD-118533 - Anatase, Quartz - - Archived

Anatase, Quartz from Hardangervidda, Hordaland, Norway [db_pics/mdpics/MD-118533a.jpg]

3.4 x 1.6 x 1.3 cm. Lustrous anatase crystals to 7 mm are artfully embedded on and in a beautiful, water-clear quartz crystal from Hardangervidda, Norway. Trivial edge wear on and near the quartz termination and to the termination of the large anatase crystal is certainly not detracting, as you can see. Dr. Hansen obviously prized this specimen, which he obtained in a small lot trade with the Smithsonian, who in turn traded with the Geology Museum at the University of Oslo.

Anatase, Quartz (Var: Smoky Quartz) from Hardangervidda, Hordaland, Norway [db_pics/mdpics/MD-122186b.jpg]

4.0 x 2.1 x 2.0 cm. Lustrous anatase crystals to 1.2 cm are artfully embedded on and in a beautiful, water-clear smoky quartz crystal from Hardangervidda, Norway. The striking, large anatase, partially on and in the smoky is certainly the focal point of this very showy specimen. Dr. Hansen obviously prized this specimen, which he obtained in a small lot trade with the Smithsonian, who in turn traded with the Geology Museum at the University of Oslo.

6.3 x 2.6 x 2.1 cm. Lustrous anatase crystals to 3 mm are artfully embedded on and in a beautiful, water-clear smoky quartz crystal from Hardangervidda, Norway. Most of the anatase crystals are on two sides of the smoky and are the focal point of this very showy specimen. The main sidecar crystal at the base is fully terminated. Dr. Hansen obtained this piece in a small lot trade with the Smithsonian, who in turn traded with the Geology Museum at the University of Oslo.

7.3 x 6.2 x 5.2 cm. A CLASSIC, OLD-TIME combination specimen from the Swiss Alps. A very glassy, complete all-around, zoned smoky quartz crystal is highlighted by six, lustrous and striated anatase crystals to 6 mm aesthetically scattered on two of the quartz crystal faces that are preferentially coated with iron oxides. This SHOWY piece, from the Richard Hauck Quartz Collection is accompanied by a Hugh Ford label, a very prominent English dealer living in the United States.
