Minerals, Crystals & Fossils
Very Unusual Elbaite - Otjimbingwe Farm 104, Karibib District, Erongo Region, Namibia While the coloration and form start off normal enough with medium pink tint and equally normal, elongated prisms, the situation changes radically at the terminations where the normal pink abruptly ceases and weird black terminal zones with fuzzy, brush-like textures appear. There are actual hair-like prisms at the tips of the various crystals. Luster is glassy on the pink and satiny, fuzzy on the black.
