A fine, contrastful and all around crystallized specimen of green Elbaite and white Clevelandite. The Elbaite is transparent and largely gemmy. It is almost excellent developed, sharp edged and highly lustrous as well. Most of the crytsals are showing good terminations and also the large Elbaite part is on the second view almost very good crystallized. A real good specimen.
