Item Description
A very aesthetic combination from Stak Nala. A 6.0 cm doubly terminated gemmy to opaque bi-colored tourmaline is elegantly cloaked by jackstraw clusters of pearlescent cleavelandite blades. Pretty gemmy bottle-green color is the highlight at both of the different terminations with scattered gemmy areas noted in the body. The complex parallel-growth pyramidal and pinacoidal terminations at the top are a stark contrast to the pinacoidal termination at the base of crystal. A classic and excellent Stak Nala tourmaline combination from the Uwe Strauss Collection.
