Item Description
Tourmalines from the remote Pamir Mountains of Tajikistan are rare and very seldom on the market. The stout crystal has an apple-green termination with striking yellow-green speckles and a rose-red base. There are hints of teal-blue just below the green on this lustrous, well-striated crystal. It GLOWS with beautiful color when backlit. Pristine. This rare and excellent crystal was for many years part of the Pala Properties/Bill Larson Tourmaline Collection and was on display at the Fallbrook shop.
