Extract

Last year (1911) the Trustees of the British Museum acquired a large isolated crystal of anatase, which is of interest not only on account of its unusual size, but also because of the vicissitudes that, to judge from the furrowed appearance of certain faces, it had undergone in the course of growth. It was by far the largest of the many crystals of this species that were found in the previous year (1910) near the ridge Kollergraben in the district known to early mineralogists as Alp Lercheltini, probably at a spot named Spissen.
