Elbaite tourmaline is a lithium-rich tourmaline prized for its slender prismatic crystals, vertical striations, trigonal form, bright vitreous luster, and remarkable color range—pink rubellite, blue indicolite, green verdelite, colorless achroite, and multicolored “watermelon” zoning. Collectors value elbaite for its rare combination of beauty, color diversity, transparency, crystal form, and locality character. Fine specimens from Brazil, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Madagascar, Nigeria, Maine, and California can serve as striking collection centerpieces.
