Elbaite ( Indicolite)
Laghman, Nuristan, Afghanistan
5.3 x 3.6 x 3.6 cm
a beautiful prismatic crystal with a flat termination associated with Cleavelandite. Approximately three quarters of the crystal are a deep, royal blue, becoming a narrow band of bluish- green, and capped with a tin return to the deep blue. Overall a very nice specimen!
