S7574 - Elbaite - $200 SOLD
Alto Ligonha, Mozambique
Overall Size: 7 x 0.8 cm
Steeply terminated, well striated, and pure gem quality single bluish-green crystal measuring 7 x 0.8
cm in overall size, very fine for the locality which I bought several years ago from the miners. These
elbaites are amazing in that the xtls exhibit such rich color, examples are rarely on matrix if ever.
From a major pegmatite locality known for exceptional tourmalines, no damage.

S7575 - Elbaite - $165 SOLD
Momeik, Mogok, Myanmar
Overall Size: 3.8 x 2.2 cm
Choice spray for Burma! Numerous elongated medium pink prisms have grown in tight parallel form
making a composite of 3.8 x 2.2 cm in overall size for a great shape and cool flat termination! Fair
value for the historic locality which has been producing material however someday the source will be
exhausted and we will be saying remember when....

S7576 - Elbaite - $100 SOLD
Alto Ligonha, Mozambique
Overall Size: 7.5 x 3.2 cm
This locality has many rich colors, deep brown being fairly rare and not ugly! Lustrous, well striated,
and pure gem quality single crystal measuring 7.5 x 3.2 cm in overall size, examples are rarely on
matrix if ever from this locality which I bought several years ago from the miners, sold it to a private
collector and now back again, different yet still highly collectible.

S7577 - Rubellite - $325
Mallkhan Mine, Chita District, Russia
Overall Size: 7 x 7 x 3.5 cm
Compared to the newer stuff, this elbaite is from earlier production within the last decade. The core is
yellow/green, as seen from the backside, with the rim being a typical rich deep pink making for a pretty
neat watermelon tourmaline of 7 x 7 x 3.5 cm in overall size. Termination is more angular in hand, would
look good in a case with lights.

S7578 - Elbaite - $175
Pamir Mountains, Tajikistan
Overall Size: 4.1 x 3.5 cm
Little comes from here at least not like neighboring Afghanistan and Pakistan, but a few choice
tourmalines have been found, this piece on matrix as well! Nicely terminated glassy light yellowish-
brown crystal of 1.4 cm long sits well in rock measuring 4.1 x 3.5 cm in size. In spite of being
repaired, it's an unimportant issue because of the rare locality, pristine termination.

S7579 - Elbaite - $200
Paprok, Kunar Province, Afghanistan
Overall Size: 3.1 x 2.5 cm
Beautiful bi-color tourmaline of pretty pink near the base grading into almost pure colorless which may
be the super rare variety achroite, probably isn't but close. This killer aesthetic termination is a welcome
addition too, undamaged and definitely not the common flat basal. From an older find, exquisite full tn or
toenail!

S7580 - Rubellite - $150 SOLD
Mallkhan Mine, Chita District, Russia
Overall Size: 3.7 x 1.7 cm
Very gemmy and glassy rich deep wine-red single crystal of 3.7 x 1.7 cm in size has a great gemlike
Russian type appearance, termination has smooth hillocks showing its fine condition. Highly desirable
among many collectors of tourmaline because of the important origin, a respectable piece!

S7581 - Elbaite - $100 SOLD
Alto Ligonha, Mozambique
Overall Size: 2.7 x 1.2 cm
Another odd color from Mozambique, that is why you should buy it! Gemmy and lustrous silver like
thumbnail measuring 2.7 x 1.2 cm in overall size, unique for sure.

S7582 - Elbaite - $95
Paprok, Kunar Province, Afghanistan
Overall Size: 4.2 x 1 cm
See through in person, really it is very transparent in hand. Pretty pink zoning at both ends with green
to yellow in the midsection, damage free termination, measures: 4.2 x 1 cm in size.
|
S7583 - Elbaite - $175 SOLD
Alto Ligonha, Mozambique
Overall Size: 6 x 2 cm
Not very attractive as shown however in sunlight it pours out color of rose red and bright green, much
like the famous Golconda tourmalines for those who know what I am referring to, in the right light it
is fabulous and worth every penny. Stepped terminations atop this elbaite of 6 x 2 cm in overall size
is nice also.
