This beautiful off-matrix gem crystal of Elbaite from the remote Malkhan Pegmatite Field, Russia has the effect of appearing a different colour at different angles. Grading between a deep champagne colour to pink, the crystal of Elbaite displays a prismatic habit measuring 4.1 cm in length with a well-formed termination, with some parallel growth crystals apparent at the base of the specimen. The Malkhan Pegmatite Field was only discovered in 1980 but has now become famous for its variously coloured tourmalines and other pegmatite minerals. Ex Jesse Fisher and Joan Kureczka Collection.
