Rare classic Elbaite crystal from the Hyakule Mine in Nepal. These Nepalese crystals are distinctive and now very hard to find, and this one is both good sized (many being thin 'pencil' style crystals) and is highly transparent. Well terminated with stepped side crystals. It grades from green at the terminations to pink in the center and base. It's complete all around and in excellent condition. Weighs 36.6 grams.
