A marvelous sculptural specimen of gemmy tourmaline var. elbaite crystals from Malkhan pegmatite field, Transbaikalia, Russia. They have a raspberry color, strong luster and nice surface striations – glassy and gem crystals to 29mm. They are well shaped and terminated. Smoky quartz and white feldspar form the base. For references see the 2019 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 50, # 3. In excellent condition. On acrylic base.

Fascinating!
