Elbaite - unusual color zoning, on Clevelandite (Ref: 16.1-565)

Stak Nala, Haramoush Mountains, Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan
38mm x 28mm x 17mm
minID: T35-55Q
A very fine small miniature with two super sharp gem Elbaites in an esthetic arrangement. From a recent find at Stak Nala, this pocket had an unusual zoning for this mine with a colorless area and a faint line of blue at the top that is captured in some of the photos. Depending on the lighting the colorless area can look slightly violet, the crystals grade to a dark green that is opaque near the bottom but translucent higher up. In fine condition the terminations are perfect even at 10x magnification. While similar to some older Stak Nala pieces this zoning is not like the more typical recent finds. Small but very choice!
