Elbaite -Bi-color gem crystal
Baoshan Prefecture
Yunnan Province, China
1.2 x .9 x .6 CM (thumbnail)
price: $120
A small but very clear perfect Tourmaline with a dark termination. We see very few good Chinese gem Elbaite and few of those with this color. In fine condition the matrix is another Elbaite crystal that is contacted with a little feldspar, but is also undamaged. Tghis is also a dichroic crystal so the color can shift from a more yellow to more green hue. A nice thumbnail from an unusual locale.
