A beautiful and sculptural specimen of tourmaline var. elbaite crystal decorated with snow white albite “flower” from Stak Nala, Skardu District, Pakistan. The elbaite crystal has a marvelous color variation from dark green in the lower part, to olive-green and apple-green at the top – very pastel and pleasing color variation. The crystal is very well terminated, transparent and gem with a high luster and superb surface striations. On the tourmaline are nestled white albite rosettes, giving a strong contrast and high aesthetics.  It has an attractive display from all sides. In excellent condition – some small nicks and contacts. On acrylic base.
Magnificent!
