In the early to mid 1990's, a pocket of amazing sceptered elbaites was discovered with etched pink bases and rich green terminations. This is one of the better miniatutes from that find. The color contrast along with the sceptering makes this a choice elbaite. For the size and balance, it is stunning and worthy of any collection of gem crystals. Most such specimes also had weaker green caps so this one is PRETTY...the contrast leaps out at you. It is not subtle as with some of the specimens of more slender aspect from the pocket.
