Classic, bi-colored Tourmaline

Item Description

A beautiful, gemmy and lustrous, bi-colored tourmaline from the famous Himalaya Mine. The classic, doubly terminated, well-striated, crystal has has alternating bands of pleasing, vivid, "Himalaya pink" and several shades of very complimentary green. The pinacoidal pink termination has either an embedded quartz, feldspar or cookeite crystal. Complete all-around, the trivial edgewear on the pyramidal termination and out of sight contacting on the back, but no damage, per se, are very modest detractions. The color banding and gemminess on this cutie are gorgeous. 7 grams. Valued at $200-250.
