Elbaite (Tourmaline) with Quartz

From a new gem pocket found in the Coronel Murta district of Minas Gerais, Brazil, a charming thumbnail single coral-pink gemmy Elbaite Tourmaline crystal crossed by small, double terminated, translucent milky-white Quartz crystals. The Elbaite stands 2.3 cm tall, mounted on a small clear acrylic base and has a perfect termination. The Elbaite is striated parallel to its length and is of a uniform pink. No repairs have been made to this specimen. A delightful Elbaite with milky-Quartz.
