Item Description
A classic, gemmy and lustrous, bi-colored, pencil tourmaline from the famous Himalaya Mine. The beautiful "Himalaya" pink body has a small zone of colorless or very light gray just below the pink termination. There is even a little lepidolite corsage embedded in the side, just below the termination, as a nifty accent. Gemmy, excellent material like this probably dates to the 1980s. Ex Wes Parker Collection. 7.44 carats.
