“A 7.4 x 5.2 x 4.0 cm mass of bladed crystallized white albite, this studded with two purplish-red lustrous terminated elbaite crystals. The largest elbaite measures 2.7 cm in length. No damage. The elbaite crystals show nice translucency and have good color. Ex Lloyd Tate collection. Ref: Von Bezing, Namibia, Minerals and Localities (2008).”
