#MVM (Minerals - Virtual Museum) / more information about the piece with this link
| Mineral: | Elbaite (variety paraíba) |
| Locality: | | São José da Batalha, Salgadinho, Borborema, Paraíba, Brazil | |
|
| Dimensions: | 3.2 × 0.8 × 0.8 cm |
| Description: |
Very well-defined and transparent crystal, with a more intense blue color at the base of the 'scepter', and with sharp terminal faces.
Its shape is especially noteworthy, since these Paraíba elbaites, famous for their attractive color, are rarely found as well-formed crystals. |
