Mineral: Anatase
Locality: Anatase-Rutile occurrence, Cuiabá District, Gouveia, Minas Gerais, Brazil
Dimensions: 1.6 cm

Description: This little piece comes from the anatase-rutile occurence in the Cuiaba District. I believe the golden color is a fine coating of rutile on the anatase, but it may be, in fact, a complete replacement of rutile pseudomorphing the anatase.
