Item Description

An elegant combination specimen from the most famous tourmaline locality in Pakistan. The lustrous, bi-colored tourmalines are aesthetically surrounded by pearlescent, bladed cleavelandite crystals. The gemmy to translucent trigonal terminations are a beautiful lime-green. The lower sections are very dark green to opaque black. The large crystal is doubly terminated. The termination gemminess is excellent and the sharp color zoning is striking. This is an excellent display piece and a wonderful pegmatite specimen from a classic locality. This fine small cabinet dates to the 1980s finds. The tourmalines are pristine. A very sweet piece. Valued $2000
