Description

Polychrome elbaite crystal proudly crops out of a quartz-laden fissure. The main tourmaline is a 9 mm across. Mostly pink, with a flat tip, great lustre.

In my opinion, this specimen has been glued on matrix, possibly on its original position.
I question its geographic origin, as the matrix does not resemble the Elban aplite. Sold as is, with no reserve.
