Description

Gorgeous specimen of dark liliac rubellite on white yellowish pegmatite matrix. The crystal is over 1 cm across, and the perfect termination is partially transparent. Excellent lustre and growth patterns on the crystal. On the side, a smaller cluster of individual rubellites. Besides a small detachment point at the base (possibly due to another crystal attached to it in the vein) the crystal is in perfect conditions and it displays beautifully.

An excellent rubellite from Madagascar. Base of the matrix was cut for optimal display.
