Item Description
A pretty bi-colored gemmy tourmaline from this well-known pegmatite. The glassy, water-clear body has striated to flattened prism faces with a pleasing very light mint-green color. A pretty rich pink caps the steep pyramidal termination. Most elbaite from this locale have pinacoidal terminations, so this is a fine and most uncommon example. Pristine. 21.7 carats.
