Elbaite (Rubellite) with Lepidolite (Ref: AX-7-233-(646))

Himalaya Mine, Gem Hill,Mesa Grande District, San Diego County, California, United States

21mm x 15mm x 12mm

minID: KC7-XLF

A fine, super colorful thumbnail Tourmaline from the Larry White collection. Great condition, gemmy transparency and vivid pink to red color that contrast with the purple Lepidolite. This is currently mounted on one of Larry's handmade wooden bases but it can easily be removed if desired. A slight bend near the termination and some color zoning add extra interest. In addition the crystal shows a very good dichroic color shift in polarized light. Choice small thumbnail. A classic USA gem crystal, esthetic, and even nicer in person.
