Isolated crystal of Elbaite (rubellite variety) with very defined crystal shapes and excellent terminal faces. Between transparent and translucent, it is shiny and implanted in a translucent Quartz crystal with leafy Albite crystals at the base. Its rear termination is recrystallized, similar to the other small crystal implanted in Quartz. A beauty that reminds us of how creative Nature can be.

TB71E2: Elbaite (variety rubellite) with Schorl and Calcite

Very unusual with the Sphere of Elbaite at the top complete, brilliant, and well positioned on the Calcite matrix.

Around the Schorl is half a sphere of Elbaite, which while not complete is not broken either. Holding this all together is fibrous pink Elbaite. No one could say that this one is not original.
