S15668 – Elbaite

Jonas mine elbaite specimens have exquisitely rich cranberry-red color and an elegance about them that is highly coveted today. This is a BEAUTIFUL and ATTRACTIVE matrix specimen seen here in lovely branching aesthetic crystals combined with lepidolite and albite. Portions of this crystal are very gemmy and transparent. In all, a pleasing, richly colored group of elbaites from the famous 1978 find.
