DT, gemmy, bent Elbaite (Soregaroli Coll.)

Item Description

A classic, striking and unusual, bi-colored, doubly terminated, bent elbaite crystal from this famous locale and the Art Soregaroli Collection. The bent and multiply rehealed end is dramatic on this fine and pristine crystal. The translucent, glassy, pyramidal termination is classic light "Himalaya pink". The central zone is a gemmy, light olive-green, followed by a pretty pink zone above the gemmy teal-green basal termination. The well-striated, lustrous faces are lightly frosted. These structurally complex elbaites are uncommon and desirable. 71 grams mass. Valued at $1250-1500.
