| | Description | |
| Comments: | Black Mountain Mine is noted for its "fans" of pink elbaite - some as large as perhaps a foot high and across. The material is largely non-gem quality to "representative" quality. Really good quality crystals are quite rare here. It is the size and aesthetics of the "fans" which have attracted collector attention to the locality over the years. | | Quality of samples: | Good crystals or rich for species - important (!) | | Confirmation | |
