Tourmaline inclusion in Morganite (rare!)

Item Description

This is a special piece for any collector of inclusions or gem crystals, and one of the most unique gem crystal combinations we have seen from Brazil. Translucent, green Elbaite Tourmaline crystals are included within a large gem Morganite Beryl crystal and you can see right through the gem clean morganite to the tourmaline beneath and within! Rarely do you see inclusions in a parent crystal that involve two beautiful gem minerals. The pale pink Morganite is totally transparent with veils of planar fluid inclusions and internal irregularities displaying incredibly lustrous prism, pyramid, and pinacoid faces. The two Elbaite tourmaline crystals are a medium green and striated with their striations visible through the Morganite crystal! One end of each Tourmaline crystal is terminated within the Morganite and the other end exit the Morganite (and are incomplete as is the Morganite on the backside). A remarkable pegmatite combo piece! 115 grams. It came from a famous pocket documented in the Mineralogical Record book on this mine, that came out in the early 2000s. Few specimens exist.
