Item Description
A very pretty bi-colored tourmaline from recent finds at Paprok. The gemmy and lustrous, parallel-growth crystal has pleasing pastel shades. The pink base grades upward to green, which turns to pink again at the pyramidal termination. Complete all-around and nearly pristine, broken tips on two small sidecar crystals are barely noticeable and are certainly not a detraction. A cute and beautiful Paprok tourmaline. 27.1 carats or over 5 grams.
