SOLD
A rare bright pink elbaite on matrix! The tourmaline is pristine and free of damage, complete all around except only a small bit on the backside. The size of the tourmaline is 10 x 5 x 4.5 cm. The smoky quartz is pristine and free of damage, complete all around. The delicate accent of the "v" of 2 gem tourmalines of entirely different habit at its base, makes this piece special and truly elegant. There is a third, small, pink tourmaline between the "v" crystals, which is reflective of the large crystal atop in form. 12 x 11 x 7 cm
