Several blue, very nice Anatase crystals on this specimen of mica schist and Quartz. The largest crystal is 5mm but most are 1 to 2mm. There are also yellowish amber blocky orthorhombic crystals to about 0.75mm closely associated with the Anatase. I am not sure what these are. They don't have the forms of garnet. Possibly Parisite. They almost look like Strontiojoaquinite, but I barium minerals have not been reported at this deposit, but of course it is possible. Ex. Fersman with label.

This is a large specimen with one face partially covered by crude to formless dark orange Andradite (EDS). Amongst the Andradite are tiny red spheres of an unknown mineral. These crystals are likely covered by Quartz, imparting a crystal ball-like appearance. I have not bothered to test these, and have chosen to leave these to your imagination.

At the red arrow are murky colorless crystals with blue inclusions. Possibly some Covellite on the specimen. See prov. tab - Ulrike Kahn label

You rarely see Anglesite of this quality on the market these days. This specimen features numerous excellent crystals to 1.5cm with an incredible adamantine luster.
