Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Elbaite
Locality: Paprok, Nuristan Province (Nurestan; Nooristan), Afghanistan (Locality at mindat.org)
Size: cabinet, 11.6 x 7.5 x 7.3 cm (5 inches tall)
Tourmaline var. Rubellite
A remarkable single crystal with much more elegance, due to its splaying form, than you would normally expect of a single large tourmaline. It is complete and nearly perfect all around, 3-Dimensional, and without repair. Note how the top of the piece elegantly splays out from the narrower base, making this less "lumpy" than many large tourmalines from the locale (and not many come out in this size, undamaged, to being with). It is extraordinarily translucent given the size, and practically GLOWS when backlit at all, a wonderful bubblegum pink color. These photos are not taken with anything but ordinary lighting. In person, or backlit in a case, it has a rich bubblegum pink hue that emanates from within. Inside, you can see from the top a "phantom" core of darker tourmaline within, which is an interesting bonus. Rare in such size and quality, at this price due to the fact I got it at a good deal in trade...A very good deal overall, on a giant rubellite, I would say. It weighs in at 1 kilo.
