Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Elbaite
Locality: Gowinggo Mine, Kail, Azad, Jammu & Kashmir, Pakistan
Size: cabinet, 12.2 x 3.8 x 3 cm
Tourmaline var. Elbaite
I had the chance to cherrypick pieces from a small pocket of this new, pink, glassy tourmaline from a find in the fall of 2009. This is one of the largest good crystals I saw, and is 168 grams. No repairs! This specimen is very glassy and transparent throughout 75% of its height, translucent through the rest. It is complete all around except for 1 small sidecar crystal that has a chipped termination (and is trivial in context). The termination is pristine. It is hard to convey in photos , but the color here really is quite different than normal for other Pakistani and Afghani locales. It is a combination of color and lustre, more like Nepalese material. This is clearly from a "new " locality and visually, in person, this is more evident - we do not often see large, somewhat different tourmalines, from new locales such as this! Comes with custom lucite base for display
