Item Description

This shapely pair of gemmy, bi-colored, doubly terminated Stak Nala tourmalines is aesthetically partially cloaked with snow-white cleavelandite blades and a druse of albite. The pristine tourmalines are typically colored with gemmy green bottoms, opaque black to very dark green mid sections and classic gemmy terminations of gemmy baby-pink tips underlain by soft bottle-green. A bit of bruising to some of the cleavelandite is certainly a modest detraction. Very fine and showy combination material from the 1980s finds and under appreciated for their quality. Ex Herb Obodda dealer stock and valued by Herb at $750 more than 10 years ago. BETTER IN PERSON!!!
