#EF0522A: Elbaite Tourmaline
Resplendor, Doce Valley, Minas Gerais, BRAZIL
Miniature: 59 x 36 x 30mm - 94gms
USD $750.00
 |
Exceptional deep green Elbaite Tourmaline with complex multiple terminations, from the Aimorés pegmatite district, Eastern Brazil. The colour of the crystal varies throughout its length from a deep bottle green to a brownish tawny yellow and back to a dark cap. The main termination is made up of fibrous crystal strands -clearly seen below the cap and above the 'lower' termination which has a crystal face, punctuated by the wonderful addition of a micro crystal of deep brown Cassiterite. Some of the fibrous terminations have an attractive lilac tone to them.The Elbaite has a small point of attachment at the base, but also has fibrous terminations here too, aswell as some attached Albite. Deaccessioned from my collection, this Tourmaline, originally collected in late 1970's / early 1980's, comes ready mounted on an acrylic block.
