Item Description
A classic, aesthetic and dramatic cluster of bi-colored tourmalines from the famous Himalaya Mine. The sculptural, beautiful, gemmy and lustrous, crystals have olive-green lower sections followed by classic, Himalaya "pink", with pretty green at the intersecting terminations. This is actually a doubly terminated specimen, as both crystals have broken, but healed bases. Fine, old-time quality material from the 1970s or 80s. Complete all-around and very nearly pristine, with only trivial edgewear to the small termination. Contacting is noted at the base of the larger tourmaline, but has no damage, per se. Ex Russell Jones and Matthew Zukowski Collections. 37 grams. Valued at $900-1200
