Item Description
Lepidolite is a rare accessory from the famous pegmatites at Stak Nala. This outstanding two-sided combination small cabinet has superb aesthetics and very high quality. Four UNUSUALLY gemmy, classic bi-colored elbaites are beautifully set on the sculptural matrix of light lilac-pink lepidolite plates on albite matrix. The olive-green bodies have a sharp contact with near colorless tourmaline grading up to classic, pretty blush pink terminations. The impressive large pencil is 4.4 cm and the rear, 2.7 cm crystal is doubly terminated. An adorable, elegant and rare Stak Nala tourmaline combination specimen from the 1980s finds. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!!
