MPL70CD2: Parallel growth of two flattened crystals of Elbaite, shiny, very deep green, and partially included in a hyaline Quartz crystal, which is partially coated by Albite.
Very original, it draws attention to how the Elbaite is included in the Quartz without practically any change in its growth, color and shape.
