TJ68D8: Elbaite with Quartz

Great crystal of twin color Tourmaline (Elbaite) which stands upright on the lightly smoky Quartz.

Classic prismatic crystal from Pederneira, Elbaite, a Na, Li and Al bor-silicate, terminated with three faces of a very acute rhombohedron. Color is very deep and the transparency is excellent. The esthetic equilibrium is due to the coverage of Muscovite on the right side of the sample.
