A lustrous, translucent, color zoned, pink to green, elbaite crystal with multiple terminations is aesthetically wreathed near the base by a matrix of light pink lepidolite crystals. The color isliterally almost electric! It shimmers with a surface sheen that is most rare in tourmalines, and the contrast to the lepidolite crystals is striking. The elbaite is 7 cm in length from the bottom where it emerges from the lepidolite (you can see this from underneath), and the largest lepidolite reaches 1.7 cm in length.
