Gemmy Elbaites (Univ. of Arizona Coll.)

Item Description

A gem of a 4-piece deal of classic gemmy elbaites from this famous locale. The pristine terminated large crystal is light olive-green and has a thin pink sheath. The second largest crystal is classic, gem, "Himalaya pink" and is a pristine, doubly terminated floater. The basal termination has a very nifty small pencil elbaite embedded in it! The third terminated crystal is a bi-colored gem with a luscious apple-green termination. One side is contacted, but there is no damage, per se. The baby gem is bi-colored with a broken and healer termination. Ex Hubert de Monmonier & University of Arizona Museum Collections (definitely older pieces). Total mass is 60.24 carats. A fine selection on its own or would make excellent pendants.
