Description
By comparisons, this doubly terminated "cuprian colored" elbaite is a giant. It is like the others, etched, yet still exhibits elongated crystal faces. This slender crystal is glassy and gemmy, with a rich ocean-blue color. Like the next specimen, this piece has a different color than all others here. It is not a strong teal hue, or highly saturated, but it is a gorgeous and unique blue color of its own that looks like a high-end Brazilian aquamarine color, rather than a tourmaline color. The gem weight is 8.47 carats. A true gem crystal!

How this data is collected: Our system continuously monitors mineral listings from authorized dealer partners across the internet. We have explicit permission from all dealers whose listings we track - any dealers who have not provided specific and explicit authorization are NOT listed and NOT tracked by our system. When a previously available listing is marked as sold or removed from sale, we record this as a completed transaction. While we cannot guarantee the exact final sale price (as negotiations may occur), this data represents publicly listed prices for specimens that have transitioned from "for sale" to "sold" status. This provides valuable market insights based on observable listing behavior patterns.
