Item Description
The pyramidal termination area on this highly lustrous, well-striated liddicoatite crystal is a pleasing, gemmy and lustrous, rose-red. The remainder of the crystal is an opaque reddish-brown and the crystal is aesthetically, partially wrapped in smoky quartz. The UNRETOUCHED backlit photo highlights the gemminess and pretty color saturation of this tourmaline from an uncommon Madagascar locale. The back is contacted, but has no damage, per se.
