Elbaite on Lepidolite and Cleavelandite (Ref: 10.1-300)
Paprok, Kamdesh District, Konar Province, Afghanistan
99mm x 81mm x 67mm
minID: RER-97W
A striking fine Tourmaline specimen with both fine color and nice matrix contrast. The largest multicolored Elbaite is 4.5 CM long and well-isolated, free standing. All are gemmy and have glassy lustrous faces. There are several smaller crystals scattered on the matrix including a few damaged crystals some of which are partly recrystallized. The major crystals are in fine shape and are the classic gemmy Paprock type with vivid pastel coloring. The largest crystals have flat basal termination but some others are the prismatic type. The color mix of the purple and off white matrix contrasts well with the glassy pink and green Tourmaline.From: Well-Arranged Molecules
