A striking crystal of tourmaline with lepidolite, featuring beautiful multicolored zoning and a highly elegant, elongated form. This lustrous, translucent elbaite shows superb vertical striation across the prism faces, with deeply appealing color transitions from rich dark green at the base through soft pastel green to delicate pink near the upper section. The termination is sharp and well defined, adding further presence to this impressive 11.5 cm cabinet-sized crystal. A small lepidolite attachment on the side adds character and association without distracting from the main crystal. Overall, this is a very attractive and complete specimen with excellent display quality, and it remains entirely natural with no repairs or restoration.
