Anatase with Rutile

Binn Valley, Wallis (Valais), Switzerland

Ex. L. L. Hubbard (1849-1933)

Ex. A. E. Seaman Mineral Museum No. DM-6729


Description/Interesting Notes:

An absolutley extraordinary example of anatase from Switzerland!!! This incredible, old time beauty consists of a highly complex crystal of brilliant yellow-orange anatase in association with two sharp, complex discs of rutile crystals!!! The anatase crystal has razor-sharp, complex faces with outrageously brilliant luster!!! The crystal has intense and lively orange-yellow color and clarity that ranges from translucent to near gemmy!!! The anatase crystal is complete and pristine all around!!! The crystal is punctured by two complex blades of complexly crystalline rutile and also hosts an area of partially included chlorite crystals and a line of fine, micaceous crystals on the reverse!!! This specimen is AMAZING in person!!! It is of incredible size for any locality - let alone an old Swiss anatase crystal!!! This is truly a world-class example of the species!!! The pictures don't even come close to capturing just how showy and impressive this rare gem is!!! This specimen retains an old label from the A.E. Seaman Mineral Museum with notation that it had been acquired from L.L. Hubbard (1849-1933)!!! Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!
