Description

This is a very nice, 1.6 cm tall magenta-red Elbaite crystal with a very dark, almost black cap, right next to an excellent short prismatic Capped Quartz on pegmatite matrix. The Elbaite crystal has a perfect triangular termination, is extremely gemmy and has a beautiful striation parallel to the c-axis. I suspect that the crystal is has sometime in the past been repaired, as a fine crack across the prism becomes visible under magnification. But it still an excellent matrix specimen from the late 2010s, for relatively little money considering the species, the unusual northern Moroccan location and overall quality of the specimen.
