Thick single Elbaite crystal with a fabulous green gem section at the top, with the main body a dark green. The form and color of the termination is excellent and the botttom is rehaled and fully crystallized. Complete and undamaged except for one minor chip along the bottome edge as seen in photo. This is the best from a small pocket found approximately 10 years ago, and I've not seen more like this since.
