Item Description
A choice gem miniature with a gem Tourmaline sticking right out of a perfect "book" of Lepidolite Mica! The limpid, beautiful, green-blue Elbaite Tourmaline measures 4.8 cm in length and is grown in tandem with a lavender, 2 x 1.6 x 1.5 cm barrel-shaped crystal of Lepidolite that is intergrown with another blocky sidecar Lepidolite and a platy one! This piece just screams aesthetics for a pegmatite combination specimen! The composition and balance is just perfect. The Tourmaline is lightly striated that imparts an almost silky luster to the crystal. The crystal has somewhat of a V-notch for a termination from a hairline rehealed fracture resulting in the two terminal points. A truly lovely Brazilian miniature from the Alvaro Lucio collection!
