Exceptional Specimen... Elbaite with Muscovite !

Tucson2009-323TourmalineKashmirPakistan.jpg (96663 bytes)
Photo by Joe Budd

Incredibly beautiful specimen of pink Elbaite with Muscovite on Albite!
One of the most attractive miniatures in Tucson in my opinion. The pink spray
in the center measures nearly 4 cm tall and is surrounded by smaller, gemmy pink
Tourmalines. All are terminated with flat top terminations except for one little jewel
with has a pyramidal tip. Running between the Tourmaline crystals is a golden-yellow
blade of Muscovite which actually bends as it passes between the crystals. This makes
for a really nice backing for the largest crystal cluster. All sit atop a white Albite matrix.

From Kara Valley, Azad Kashmir, Pakistan.
Measures 6 cm by 4.2 cm by 3.4 cm in size.

Price $3500
