Long, double terminated Elbaite crystal accented by thin blades of Clevelandite Feldspar. The Elbaite grades up from dark green to light green to a thin clear zone at one termination and has a 3.5cm pink zone at the other termination. The crystal was recovered in two pieces and has been professionally repaired (break was at the start of the pink zone). Aside from the repair, it is undamaged and clean, and fairly long.
