Scientific information: The yellow color of the anatase in this specimen is caused by trace impurities, likely elements such as iron or titanium in different oxidation states. These impurities alter the crystal structure or introduce defects that affect how light interacts with the mineral, resulting in a yellow hue instead of the typical metallic grey. This coloration is a rare.
Photos: The photos are taken in a controlled lighting setup to prevent any alteration of the specimen's natural colors. It is recommended to display minerals in well-lit environments to fully appreciate their natural hues.
