Description:Striking books of pretty lavender, translucent, lithium-rich lepidolite are peppered on the albite matrix on this showy and excellent CABINET specimen from Paprok. Two, gemmy and lustrous, light pink tourmalines with scalloped terminations are a very nifty accent. The isolated tourmaline is 1.2 x 0.9 cm. You don't see very many Paprok combo pieces with this quality of lepidolite. The back has been sawed to enhance the display quality. This piece displays well without any aid.
