3.3 x 2.6 x 1.6 cm. This specimen is an excellent crystal as it has excellent form, great luster and sharpness, and a deep purple plum color in the center with a beautiful pinkish-red hue along the edges. The crystal is slightly translucent around the edges of the sharp, lustrous faces and is also doubly-terminated. Ex. Brian Kosnar Collection. [Originally uploaded as liddicoatite. May be fluor-liddicoatite, liddicoatite, elbaite or other species. Single xl XRD and WDS analysis are needed to confirm which species that are present in the crystal].
