TB71E2: Elbaite (variety rubellite) with Schorl and Calcite

Very unusual with the Sphere of Elbaite at the top complete, brilliant, and well positioned on the Calcite matrix. The lower half of the specimen is complex: there is a thick crystal of Schorl that passes through the calcite and is terminated at its upper end. Around the Schorl is half a sphere of Elbaite, which while not complete is not broken either. Holding this all together is fibrous pink Elbaite. No one could say that this one is not original.
