Mineral: Elbaite
Locality: Malkhan (Malchan), Krasnyi Chikoy, Zabaykalsky Krai, Russia
Dimensions: Approx. 8 cm

Description: There seemed to be a good supply of these elbaites from the Malkhan pegmatite. I don't know if they represent new production or old stashes. Anyway, this one was one of my favorites with the two sidecar quartz crystals
