Description/Interesting Notes:
A classic example of elbaite tourmaline from the type locality - Elba Island!!! This specimen hosts a trio of
elbaite crystals in association with orthoclase and quartz!!! The elbaite crystals have sharp, glassy faces and exhibit characteristic
two-toned coloration!!! Two of the crystals show dark, near black color with colorless terminations and one of the
crystals has a olive-green termination!!! The crystals range in size up to 1.5cm!!! Classic material!!!
The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!! This specimen is from the collection of
Tony Nikischer!!! We just acquired the 6000+ specimen PERSONAL collection
of Tony Nikischer and there are going to be some very exciting minerals to come in the upcoming days and weeks!!!
