Group of doubly terminated Elbaite crystals with very well defined polycrystalline growths, transparent, with good luster and a blue color with violet tones along the prism and green around the pyramid faces. With a small crystal of the same Elbaite, green with yellow tones and a very different appearance, in the area where the two main crystals meet.
Very curious is the great curvature of one of the crystals, elongated and thin, which seems to have suffered extreme pressures to be born and die in another, thicker, crystal.
