Anatase Mineral

Good day dear Hive community, first of all I wish you all a pleasant day and a good start to the new weekend! In my new post I would like to present you a mineral and hope you find the post informative.

This wonderful mineral, which convinces with its black radiance, bears the name Anatase. Depending on the occurrence, it can also take on brown, red or green shades and it belongs to the mineral class of oxides. The name is associated with the Greek word Anatasis, which means elongation and refers to the shape of the crystals. Anatase is also connected to the element air and the zodiac sign Scorpio.

Anatase was first mentioned in writing in 1801 by René-Just Haüy, who is often referred to as the father of crystallography. The mineral can be found pretty much worldwide and it is created in different ways such as by metamorphic or with the help of volcanic rock. It is used to obtain titanium and the powder can also be used to produce color pigments and even if the processing is not very easy, it is still used as a gemstone.

It can also be used as a healing stone and help against mental blockages and it should also help to support the body in the absorption of nutrients. Anatase can also help from a spiritual point of view and affect the energy system of the body, which is called chakra system. As always, it should be mentioned that this is alternative medicine and you should always ask your doctor about the right medicine, dosage and side effects!

Thanks to every reader for stopping by and watching! I captured the pictures with my Sony Alpha 6000 and 55-210mm lens!
