Elbaite var. Rubellite$1,500.00
Wire transfers available, to set up
The remote Malkhan pegmatite field is located near to Russia's border with Mongolia, 'near' meaning within a hundred miles, when small towns are usually several hundred miles apart. This lovely individual terminated crystal has superb colour - a really intense deep raspberry red to pink. Standing 3.8 cm tall, and nicely crystallized with prominent vertical striations up the length of the prism, and with a three-sided classic Tourmaline pyramidal termination, this is a really fine Elbaite from this region. The termination faces are glassy and bright, but show an unusual pitted appearance. Looking from beneath, upwards, the crystal has a white internal core, surrounded by vivid pink glassy edges. Upwards, these glassy, gemmy pink and red shades broaden to encompass the whole of the termination. A very colourful Russian Tourmaline.
