Description/Interesting Notes: A classic example of rubellite tourmaline with quartz from this classic Russian locale!!! This specimen consists of a robust crystal of rich pink rubellite tourmaline in association with some intergrown quartz crystals and some characteristic "leafy" whitish lep...idolite crystals!!! The tourmaline crystal exhibits sharply defined features with top brilliant luster!!! The crystal shows a handsome pink color with accents of a slightly golden hue in some shallow, outer zones!!! The termination is flat and lustrous but exhibits a fascinating display of subtly stepped features upon close inspection!!! There are some intergrown quartz crystals as well as some leafy-looking lepidolite (typical of the locale)!!! Despite a few minor blemishes this specimen displays fantastically in person!!! Way better than the pics show!!! Older material!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!
