Bi-colored Tourmalines (uncommon locale) ex Obodda

Item Description

Mineral specimens of any variety are RARE from this obscure Pakistan locale and here is your chance to obtain a real cutie. Three, gemmy and lustrous, well-striated, bi-colored tourmalines proudly stand upright like a trident against the glassy prismatic quartz crystal and bladed cleavelandite. The two crystals on the right have pretty pink interior lower sections with a thin rind of green followed by olive-green below the frosted, black, pyamidal terminations. The left-hand crystal is distinctly different in having an olive-green body capped by an etched, pinacoidal termination. Interesting tourmaline chemistry here. The backside of the piece is preferentially coated with tiny quartz points.
