Exceptional and sculptural specimen of multicolor doubly terminated Tourmaline var. Elbaite of 52 mm decorated by Albite. The stately Elbaite crystal has marvelous color variation from dark green in the middle, olive-green above to apple-green layers and colorless tip on one side, and tender pink on the other end – very pastel and pleasing color variation. The crystal is perfect and bi-terminated. The pink end is with multiple terminations.  The crystal is transparent and gem with high luster and superb surface striations. On the Tourmaline are nestled many white Albite rosettes. They underline nicely the Elbaite. Beautiful display from many sides. In excellent condition – some small nicks and contacts.
Absolutely gorgeous!
