This gorgeous specimen features pink tourmaline beautifully embedded within a shimmering matrix of lepidolite and albite, creating a harmonious palette of soft pinks, lilacs. The tourmaline crystals stand out with vibrant color saturation, offering an unmistakable focal point against the textured matrix.
Lepidolite lends a dramatic sparkle and visual intensity, while albite provides structural contrast and softness. Together, these minerals form a classic pegmatite association prized for both aesthetic balance and mineralogical interest.
Dimensions
• Dimensions: 3.5”x3.25”x2.5”
• Weight: 373g
Pink tourmaline is a variety of elbaite, a complex borosilicate mineral known for its wide color range and unique crystal forms. Lepidolite is a lithium-rich mica, often associated with gem tourmaline in granitic pegmatites, while albite is a sodium feldspar that commonly crystallizes alongside tourmaline during late-stage pegmatite formation.
• Highly desirable color contrast and classic pegmatite association
• Soft pastel and electric color palettes with strong visual cohesion
• Excellent specimen for collectors of tourmaline species and lithium-bearing minerals
• Well-defined pink tourmaline crystals
• Lepidolite matrix with natural shimmer
• Strong aesthetic appeal from multiple angles
