Anatase, Dolomite

Locality: Buckwheat Pit (Southwest Opening; Buckwheat Mine), Franklin, Franklin Mining District, Sussex Co., New Jersey, USA

A great rarity at Franklin,NJ is Anatase. Rutile and Brookite are common compared to Anatase. I collected this on the Buckwheat Dump from a Dolomite boulder. The blue, transparent, Anatase crystal is 1mm in a 1.5cm Dolomite crystal pocket. It is not my greatest picture being at the very back of a pocket.
