Elbaite, Lepidolite

A classic and fine polychrome tourmaline from recent finds at the Pederneira Mine. This gemmy and lustrous crystal grades upward from cranberry-red at the base to pleasing pink to near colorless to teal-blue to green at the strangely etched, steep, three-sided, pyramidal termination. The lavender lepidolites and little sidecar crystal at the base are nice accents. Complete-all-around and nearly pristine.
