BTRM1 Tourmaline var. Elbaite, Smoky Quartz, Lepidolite

21.0x 14.5x 13.0 cm

$2750

A very impressive large cabinet specimen, consisting of several terminated rubellites perched on two large (also terminated) smoky quartz crystals.  Almost all of the tourmalines have light green caps.  Due to its size, it is difficult to photograph well--it is better in person.

There is a small amount of damage, which is to be expected from a specimen of this size, especially given the blasting methods used by the miners.  Still, this remains a very impressive large cabinet specimen.
