Description
This is a classic, multicolored Elbaite crystal from the Cruzeiro gemstone mine in the pegmatites in São José da Safira, Minas Gerais, Brazil. Terminations and lower stem (base) of the crystal is pink, while the center is a bright acid green. The trigonal termination is perfect. The specimen has a vitreous luster and is translucent gemmy, however, unfortunately, the translucency does not show very well on the photo. It is much better in person.
