Elbaite Crystal on matrix - Height: 18 mm - Width: 34 mm- 42 g - (1)

This high-quality specimen features a tourmaline crystal with amber coloration and gem-like transparency, gracefully perched on a contrasting matrix of feldspar and quartz. The piece stands out for the absolute integrity of its morphology; the tourmaline crystal is completely free of damage, preserving both the termination and the prism faces in a pristine state, an attribute of extreme rarity that significantly raises its value in the collectible market.
From crystallographic rigor, the prism exhibits perfectly defined vertical growth striations and a superior vitreous luster. Its termination, sharp and geometric, crowns a body of great internal purity that allows light to pass through, revealing centers of warm, honeyed color. The feldspar matrix, of immaculate white, provides the perfect canvas to highlight the crystal's verticality, while the associated small quartz crystals contribute a complex mineral texture. This piece is a testament to aesthetic balance and natural preservation, ideal for display cases that demand uncompromising specimens in their physical and crystallographic quality.
