Elbaite - Tourmaline with Albite$400.00
Wire transfers available, to set up
A different looking Elbaite Tourmaline from a new gem pocket in the Coronel Murta district of Minas Gerais, Brazil, capped with radiating blades of white Albite Feldspar. The 4 cm tall Elbaite prism is asymmetric in cross-section, with two highly lustrous curved prism faces and one broader, flat face with a silky lustre and dusted with micro-Albite crystals of 1 mm and under. The steep-sided pyramidal termination is largely masked by a spray of lustrous, glassy Albite crystals of the variety Cleavelandite, with crystals up to 1.7 cm long, forming a semi-glistening cap. All three prism faces are vertically striated while the prism is a mix of gemmy and translucent feathered zones varying from hot cerise to bubble gum pink. No repairs have been made to this specimen and it is nicely displayed on a small colourless acrylic base.\n
