Elbaite - pink core Indicolite (Ref: 13.1-273)
Santa Rosa Mine, Itambacuri, Doce Valley, Minas Gerais, Brazil
30mm x 14mm x 12mm
minID: 575-URE
A glassy, transparent single crystal of Elbaite from the famed Santa Rosa Mine. The red core of the crystal is slightly offset with a slight yellow halo that is surrounded by blue to greenish blue zones. When viewed through the termination a perfect watermelon zoning is seen. Minor edge chips are noted but they are quite small and can be minimized by display angle. This is choice gem grade with a nice color intensity best appreciated in person. 10.5 grams, this is priced below gem rough value. From: Well-Arranged Molecules
