The specimens on this page are all from the find of late 2004. The crystals produced rival even those from Norway and the Alps, and certainly surpass the majority of the Ural and Brazilian specimens.
These are not from the same area as most other Pakistani specimens. The aquamarines, tourmalines, etc. come from the Northwest Frontier Province, Gilgit, Skardu, and Baltistan, the last two being the provinces that comprise Kashmir. These anatase crystals, and the brookite that has been coming out of the region, are from the desert area in the southern Baluchistan province.

BRK1 Brookite Kharran, Baluchistan, Pakistan 3.8x 3.4x 3.4 cm $45
Ok... so this one is clearly not anatase. But it's another titanium dioxide, from the same place, so I included it on the anatase page. I actually purchased this piece in Tucson, and not Pakistan. Although I did see some nice brookites, I did not want to risk transporting them, on account of their fragility. Click on thumbnails for larger images |
