Description

Exceptional group composed of a single shiny and striped Elbaite polychrome crystal set between quartz crystals and cleavelandite sheets collected in rosette. The singularity of the sample is in the fact that from the side of the pink termination, the single crystal divides in two. The colour varies within the same perfectly biterminated crystal, from intense pink, to green, to the colourless of Acroite, in the opposite termination. The major crystal has dimensions of 6,4x1,3x1,2 cm. The group is a floating geode center of exceptional atypical aesthetic effect and rare in colour due to its position.
