description:
A gorgeous glassy partly gemmy purplish red crystal of elbaite to 6.0 cm in size set on a white bladed albite crystal matrix. Some chipping is present along one edge as seen in the video. On the right side of the crystal what appears at first to be damage is completely crystallized naturally. The color on this is incredible, the translucency very good as shown at the end of the video.
