OKI-408

OKI-408    Anatase on Adularia     RESERVED    Valdres Region, Norway.  Ex. Joe Polityka Collection.  Dark, high luster anatase crystals which are well exposed on contrasting adularia coat most of the front and top of this specimen.  Back and sides have fewer small crystals.  The two biggest crystals are just under a cm each measuring .95 cm.  One tiny crystal near the edge is broken but this is not a distracter to this essentially damage free piece (I only noticed it on my third inspection and did so with 10x magnification).  5.5 x 4.5 x 3.5 cm overall.  The piece sits a couple of different ways nicely and the luster is  far better than the images indicate.  This is a fine example of this classic material.  250$
