This exquisite specimen features Blue Anatase, a rare titanium dioxide (TiO₂) mineral, known for its vibrant sapphire to steel-blue colouration and distinctive bipyramidal (pseudo-octahedral) crystal habit. The deep blue colour is not only rare but also highly desirable among collectors and mineralogists alike.
Originating from the Kharan District of Pakistan, one of the few known sources of gem-grade Blue Anatase, this specimen exhibits high lustre and excellent clarity under magnification. Its photocatalytic properties also make it a subject of interest for scientific collectors, but it is the visual elegance of its sharply terminated blue crystals that truly captivates.
