A wonderful and sculptural specimen of tourmaline var. elbaite crystal decorated with snow white albite rosettes from Stak Nala, Skardu District, Pakistan. The elbaite has a dark olive-green color. The crystal is very well terminated, transparent and gem, when properly lighted. It is with a high luster and superb surface striations. On the tourmaline are nestled white albite rosettes, giving a strong contrast and high aesthetics. The muscovite crystals are rhombohedral and well shaped.  It has an attractive display from all sides. In very good condition – some small nicks and contacts. On acrylic base.
Pretty!
