This is a very unusual, glittering tourmaline! It is 100% translucent to transparent, deep pink, and etched on the surface in such a way that it glistens from any angle, like a catseye effect. The dark, opaque, termination has a strange, roughly etched appearance, atypical of most elbaites. In fact, the whole specimen is atypical of most elbaites, which is why it is special.
