This is an exceptional and impressive size for the Anatase crystal of 2.5 cm / 25 mm with magnificent crystal quality. It's double terminated with fine crystal edges, well crystalized all around with secondary crystal and Albite attached as matrix. It has metallic glassy luster with natural art on the crystal surface. It's an indeed incredible example for the species in such perfection and aesthetic visuals.
One of the notable features of anatase is its high refractive index, making it optically interesting. It exhibits strong birefringence, meaning that it can split light into two polarized beams. This property has applications in various optical devices.

Anatase Description:
Anatase Mineral is a metastable mineral shape of titanium dioxide (TiO2) with a tetragonal crystal structure. even though colorless or white while natural, anatase in nature is often a black solid because of impurities. Other 3 polymorphs (or mineral forms) of titanium dioxide are known to occur clearly: brookite, akaogiite, and rutile, with rutile being the most commonplace and maximum solid of the bunch.
Anatase is usually located as small, isolated, and sharply advanced crystals, and prefer rutile, it crystallizes in a tetragonal system. Anatase is metastable at all temperatures and pressures, with rutile being the equilibrium polymorph. though, anatase is regularly the primary titanium dioxide section to form in lots of techniques because of its lower surface strength, with a change to rutile taking location at increased temperatures.

Anatase Color:
Anatase forms translucent or transparent crystals (octahedrite) various in color from black to reddish brown, yellowish brown darkish blue, or grey.
Anatase Clarity:
Anatase crystals are typically purchased “eye-clean” or favorably in terms of clarity. There are rare cases where the clarity of the gem is not of primary concern.
Anatase Origin:
Anatase minerals are found as difficult, great crystals of tetragonal symmetry and numerous colors in veins in igneous and metamorphic rocks and usually in placer deposits of detritus. The origin of Anatase is Baluchistan Province, Pakistan.
Anatase Carat:
Especially Anatase rare, faceted gemstones nearly usually weigh less than 1-2 carats. But, cut gemstones as massive as about 6 carats are recognized.
