Item Description
This classic, gemmy, "Himalaya pink" elbaite crystal has an unusual near-colorless, offset pyryamidal termination. A very jauntily set, 2.2 cm, sharp, frosted, doubly terminated, tabular quartz crystal and the tiny lavender lepidolite crystal on the other side are super accents. The elbaite is pristine and the quartz crystal has a barely noticeable clean repair. Such well-constructed combinations in this size and quality are very uncommon. Aesthetic and excellent combination material from this famed locale. 70.84 carats or 14 grams mass.
