Fine elbaites from the Jonas Mine are rarely seen in dealer stocks today, briefly available only in the late 1970s just after they came out from a now-infamous 1978 pocket. This slender, transparent crystal is gorgeous classic in color and with the typical transparency and glassiness of a Jonas piece. Almost all have the same color saturation, too, with little variability, helping to make this a classic pocket that has a characteristic and immediately seen style to the pieces. This cranberry colored, transparent crystal is associated with a bit of pastel pink lepidolite. It weighs 31.7 carats or just over 6 grams.
