Description

Uncommon locality and pseudomorph, form my own collection, featuring an euhedral crystal of perovskite replaced by anatase. This type of pseudos are well known from other localities (Sebljavr Complex, Kola Peninsula or Iron Mountain, Wyoming). These from the Tapira complex have a good size, and only a limited amount were set on the marked by a Brazilian Geologist.

Ex. Dr. Jaroslav Hyrsl specimen; Ex. Iván Blanco.
