Beautiful and delicate pair of conjoined Elbaite crystals from Mawi, Afghanistan. These sculptural Tourmalines have excellent form, glassy and incredible luster, and a rare achroite termination showing NO color (due to impurities in the crystal during formation), grading to a very light pastel green and pink color in the base. Excellent aesthetics, and even better in person!
