Elbaite
Standing like a rocket ready for blast-off, this eye-catching off-matrix Elbaite tourmaline crystal cluster (two parallel crystals) even has the colours to match - a fiery pink-red base and bottle-green upper prisms. Fully terminated with prominent classic three-sided pyramids the main body of the crystals is a very typical Elbaite tourmaline in form and below, the naturally etched narrow 'stem' gives the whole a sceptered form reminiscent of a rocket with flames firing out from its base. Displaying great translucency, with backlighting these bright colours really stand out stunningly well, making this 5.7 cm tall Aricanga mine piece an instant classic. The terminations are extremely sharp and undamaged and the lower part of the upper prisms present a really unusual silky appearance. It has one recorded repair and a restoration. It comes with a custom-made Sunnywood acryllic base allowing it to stand upright in its most dramatic pose.
