Item Description
An elegant combination specimen from the most famous tourmaline locality in Pakistan. Three bi-colored tourmalines (two hidden in the frontal view) are aesthetically wrapped in jackstraw oxide-coated cleavelandite blades with a couple of nifty quartz points at the base. A very narrow pretty pink is at the water-clear termination. Gemmy bottle-green is followed by light olive-green, with the body being translucent dark olive-green. Complete all-around and very nearly pristine. The termination edge of the large elbaite has a hard-to-see, trivial bruise. Certainly not a detraction to this fine cutie. A classic Stak Nala combination from thew late 1980s or early 1990s.
