DT gem Indicolite Tourmaline (Strauss Coll.)

Item Description

Gorgeous rich indicolite blue color highlights this beautiful gem tourmaline crystal. The limpid, very glassy, well-striated crystal is doubly terminated. The flat pinacoid termination is a rich dark purple. The pyramidal termination is coated and the contacts on one edge, where other crystals once lay, have no damage, per se. The bottle-green zone below the pyramidal termination adds color, contrast and more pizzazz to this pristine and classic cutie from Paprok. 22.43 carats or nearly 4.5 grams mass. A choice indicolite from the Uwe Strauss Collection.
