Item Description

A very colorful and rare style of bi-colored elbaite from this famed locale. The lustrous crystal has striking parallel-growth, fluted form. The gemmy, translucent lower section is a beautiful bottle-green to olive-green. The dramatic transition to rich pink is fabulously irregular! A few side car terminations have gorgeous, cranberry-red, gem terminations. The complex pyramidal termination has some starkly contrasting and rare, golden termination faces! Complete all-around and nearly pristine, with only two broken side car terminations. RARE, colorful, older material from 1960s or 70s from the Art Soregaroli Collection. 105 grams mass. Value???
