Elbaite with Quartz, Albite
specimen number:
4951645
location:
Himalaya mine, San Diego Co., California, USA
description:
A partly gemmy lustrous pink crystal of elbaite measuring 6.5 cm in length, 2.8 cm in diameter, set up on a large grouping of glassy mostly gemmy smoky quartz crystals with white feldspar. Very slight micro-chipping present, I think that a lot of what one sees on the quartz termination is completely natural. This is crystallized all around. A choice large matrix example from this famous California locality.
