Item Description

A showy, nifty and unusual, bi-colored, tourmaline on a euhedral quartz crystal from the famous Himalaya Mine. The base of the gemmy, lustrous and striated, bent tourmaline is the pleasing "Himalaya pink", while the upper portion is an ususual bluish-gray. Most of the bluish-gray end is terminated. The pink end is dinged. Chuck Houser, a noted California pegmatite specialist, collected this piece. Rarely available in this color combination from the noted locale. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON.
