Item Description

A beautiful richly colored bi-colored tourmaline from the 2017 Mad Max Pocket at Malkhan. The pristine sharply terminated striated crystal has glassy termination faces and satin lustre prism faces. The gemmy to translucent crystal has classic variable raspberry-red color and a deceptive interior at the base. What looks to be a muted blue basal color inside is revealed to be a pretty gemmy teal-blue color, with backlighting. See the fine 2019 Mineralogical Record article in Vol. 50, No. 3. 23 grams mass. Ex Dr. Steven Morehead Collection. Valued at $2000-2500. A very fine small cabinet example from the find and now-famous locale.
