Item Description
This very sculptural and excellent Himalaya combination looks just like a snail, with the two gem elbaites being the eye stalks! The pristine gem "Himalaya pink" elbaites have thin green termination zones. The "shell" and "body" are artistically composed of an excellent, sharply terminated, transparent to translucent, smoky quartz crystal, bladed cleavelandite and lavender lepidolite. The smoky is pristine. A very fine Himalaya combination from the Art Soregaroli Collection. Valued at $1250-1500. Seldom available in this artistic combination quality.
