Item Description
A beautiful, gemmy and lustrous, polychrome tourmaline from the famous Himalaya Mine. The classic, well-striated, crystal has the pleasing, vivid, "Himalaya pink" body. The base is hues of green and the modified, pinacoidal termination is either coloress or very light gray. The little, 6 mm, lavender, lepidolite crystal on the side is a super accent to this fine older piece, that probably dates to the 1960s or 70s. Complete all-around and essentially pristine. Ex Robert Whitmore Collection # 44. 30 grams. Valued at $750.
