Bi-colored Tourmaline (Strauss Coll.)

Item Description

A really cute intergrown cluster of three bi-colored tourmalines from the famous Stewart Mine. The glassy, gemmy to translucent, well-striated, pinacoidal crystals have vivid pink cores, that are encased in a cornflower-blue rind. The gemmy and lustrous terminations are powder-blue to a very light lavender. A fascinating, colorful and pristine 360-degree trio. Specimens such as this were probably recovered in the 1970s. Ex Uwe Strauss Collection. 45 grams mass.
