Bi-colored Tourmaline (classic locale)

Item Description

A very nifty and artistic crossed pair of crystals from this famous locale. The highly lustrous, well-striated crystals are transparent to translucent and have olive-green bodies with black terminations. These are partial retrograde (altered) crystals, as the basal interiors of the crystals are tourmaline fibers. Complete all-around and nearly pristine. The termination of the angled crystal has a trivial bruise and there is a very clean, barely noticeable repair, where this crystal is reattached to the upright crystal. This remains a very fine and classic example of this varietal from the famous finds of the 1960s and 70s.
