Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Elbaite, Lepidolite, Albite (Var.: Cleavelandite)
Locality: Pederneira claim, São José da Safira, Doce valley, Minas Gerais, Southeast Region, Brazil (Locality at mindat.org)
Size: 13.0 x 5.6 x 5.4 cm.
This impressive specimen features a sharp, doubly-terminated gem crystal from the so-called “Rocket Pocket", 10.8 x 1.4 x 1.2 cm in size, perched delicately on the side of a knoll of crystallized cleavelandite with sparkling purple lepidolite in the interstices. Collected around 2002, this was considered at the time, in the context of having most of the pocket contents laid out on a few giant tables to be sorted, to be one of the best of this style in its size range. It was kept back by one of the partners in the Pederneira Mining venture, and then sold to collector Irv Brown. He selected it because it has very unique aesthetics and, unlike most of these larger crystals which have 2-4 repairs, it has only one very clean, lock-fit repair to the tourmaline crystal. I obtained it in exchange from him in about 2006. The Pederneira is shut down for the moment, and in any case the pegmatite which hosted this particular pocket is completely gone and stripped of crystals at this point. I admire the contrast between the large crystal with pyramidal termination and the two smaller crystals flanking it, each with a flat-topped termination. The balance of the piece, the accents by the sidecar crystals, the combination of terminations, all make for a superb specimen in its size class.
