S7740 - Elbaite - $175 SOLD
Paprok, Kunar Province, Afghanistan

For the length versus price, this is as pretty of a pastel pink to green as you will see from Paprok,
probably more so in person. Countless finds of various colors come from the area, but this elbaite
is glassy, gemmy, and bright in hand. Both ends are terminated for an overall size of 6 x 1 cm, a
treasure of a gem pencil that only the great Himalayan mountain range could produce, no damage.
