Of the polychrome Elbaites from the Himalaya mine one of the characteristics that the 'photographic eye' most appreciates is the geometric color zoning, in this case from the bottom to the top there are three superimposed delicate pastel colors: yellow, pink and green. A 'delicatessen'. We will send the sample in its original Perkin’s box from the R.J. Noble collection, also with the collection label on which it appears that it was obtained in an exchange with Terry Enright, June 2011.
