Item Description
A 5.1 cm, gemmy, bi-colored tourmaline is elegantly set in a nest of opposing cleavelandite blades on this very fine combination from Shengus. The beautiful, gemmy, multi-hued green upper section is capped by a sparkly frosted/etched termination. The gemmy, 7 mm, olive-green section overlies a schorl core with a gemmy olive-green rind. The sharp color zonation is dramatic and attractive. The elbaite is pristine and the cleavelandites are in great shape. Very choice combination material from the Herb Obodda dealer stock. Valued $2000
