EJ93K6: One of the novelties of this year are these polychrome Elbaites that remind one of some classic Brazilian specimens.

The specimen has been photographed and published in the magazine ‘Paragénesis’, number 01/2020, page 61, and has been published in the book 'China II', by Berthold Ottens, on page 337
