Item Description

A beautiful, doubly terminated, bi-colored tourmaline from the much less well-known Mawi pegmatite of Afghanistan. The gemmy and lustrous crystal has a pretty pastel-pink and green basal pinacoid termination followed by a very gemmy teal-blue to bottle-green body. The green pyramidal termination has frosted faces with moderate luster. This striking gem crystal is complete all-around and pristine. Uncommon and excellent material from this locale. Ex Larry Krause dealer stock. 18 grams. Valued at $750-ish
