EX69AM1: Elbaite crystal with sharp faces and edges and a flat pinacoid termination, between transparent and translucent, lustrous, with a dominant intense pink color and yellow tones in the heart of the crystal. On matrix, with Feldspar and Quartz crystals. The locality name differs from what has been given so far for similar specimens, and we do not know whether there are in fact two different localities or not.
