Description
A colorful single Elbaite thumbnail specimen with frosted-looking trigonal termination. The colors in the translucent and striated prism range from a green termination to yellowish-white before it turns to a hot pink near mid section all the way to the bottom. A super gemmy piece with a vitreous luster. A great thumbnail from the Cruzeiro Mine, which consists of four main parallel granitic pegmatite intrusions into quartzite. From an annual production of ca. eight tons of tourmaline only about ten percent is sold for collector specimens!
