Description from the seller

***WARNING – due to the current situation regarding tariffs, sales to the U.S. are TEMPORARILY SUSPENDED***

Beautiful multicolored Elbaite crystals, with colors ranging from green to intense pink, the largest measuring 42 mm in length, set on a large Quartz crystal on almost every side and with minor Albite. The termination is damaged, but the color is extraordinary. Not to be missed!
Photographed under intense light.

Seller's Story

We have been collectors since 1972, present as exhibitors at the main mineral exhibitions in Italy and some European ones (Sainte-Marie-Aux-Mines, Monaco, etc.), where you can find us to get to know us in person, exchange opinions, talk about our beloved minerals and, should the auctions end close to an exhibition, deliver your samples directly. All proposed minerals, unless otherwise specified, are photographed using a strong light source, to better show the colors and details of the sample. If you buy multiple minerals in the same auction, we will ship them together and you will only pay the higher shipping costs.
