Bi-colored gemmy Tourmaline (Pala Intl. Coll.)

Item Description

A bright and lustrous parallel-growth tourmaline crystal cluster showing a wild color variety, with colors in the lower translucent section (including luscious cranberry-red) mixed in swirls rather than in discrete bands as is more typical. The terminations are gorgeous, very gemmy, teal-blue. The termination of the primary crystal is complete-all-around and pristine. The secondary termination is dinged. Tourmaline specimens from this obscure pegmatite field are seldom on the market. Ex. Pala International Company Collection. 22 grams. Valued at $900.
