YL2- Tourmaline var. Elbaite, Quartz,
Lepidolite, Albite
Kunnar, Aghanistan
13.6x 7.4x 5.0 cm
$525
On one side of the specimen, at the center of which is a large, bent
rubellite tourmaline. To its right, there is a deeper
pink rubellite, intermixed with numerous small quartz crystals, and a
second generation of tourmaline.
All in all, this is a highly unusual cabinet specimen,
and certainly of interest to the tourmaline collector.
I have included a few extra photographs here, but it has
to be seen with the naked eye to be fully appreciated. Sawn on the
reverse.
