Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Titanium crystals

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Original - A titanium crystal bar, high pure 99,995%, made by the iodide process at URALREDMET in the Soviet era. Weight ≈283g, ≈5.5 " long, ≈1 " diameter.
Reason
I came across this on commons FPC. It's got undeniably brilliant EV, clearly showing the shape of the crystals, colour of the metal, etc., and is high quality.

info this isn't a mineral, this is a chemical element sample ;-) Best regards, --Alchemist-hp (talk) 12:59, 26 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I mean the sample. I found that it had been added to Crystal bar process (not mentioned in the nomination) which sort of explains the process, but it would have been nice to explain the significance of the shape of the bar in the nomination too.
