Item Description
Wow! A dramatic and aesthetic large combination from the famous Pederneira Mine. An impressive large spray of glassy, translucent, olive-green elbaites to 5.7 cm have nifty dark purple terminations. The spray is artistically set on the sloping face of the massive albite matrix, that hosts clusters of cleavelandite blades. The spray is essentially pristine. The base has been sawed to enhance the very considerable display quality of the very fine and showy large combination. Valued at $1500-2000.
