Elbaite, Lepidolite

From this recent find of really unusual, translucent lepidolites comes a fine miniature with the tourmaline bisecting a cluster of those neat lepidolites. The 3.5-cm-tall tourmaline stands in the middle of the joined lepidolite group. It is draped by a later generation of sparkling lepidolite crystals of smaller size. An unusual combination piece.
