floater Tourmaline with Quartz (R.Whitmore Coll.)

Item Description

A nifty and older combination specimen from the famed Himalaya Mine and the Robert Whitmore Collection. A gemmy and lustrous, well-striated, multi-hued green tourmaline crystal is very aesthetically accompanied by a jauntily angled, doubly terminated quartz crystal and a lavender lepidolite book. The tourmaline is doubly terminated. The lustrous, pinacoid termination with the lepidolite book is lightly contacted, as is the quartz crystal, but have very minimal bruising. The other termination is broken, but healed. The classic Himalaya piece dates to the 1950 or 60s.
