Simply an extremely showy matrix specimen from Letpanhla, Burma boasting multiple saturated, lustrous, and gemmy multicolored Elbaite crystals, with an awesome grouping around some gemmy, but interestingly included Quartz crystals on the right half of the specimen. Burma is very much a land of many mineral wonders.
