Item Description

A superb gem, bi-colored indicolite tourmaline from Pech. The water-clear body of this stunning crystal is a beautiful indicolite blue. The fantastic termination with the embedded cleavelandite cluster is a very pretty lavender and the base grades downward from a rich grass-green to opaque dark purple or black. This very glassy, highly lustrous and well-striated crystal is doubly terminated, as the broken base is totally rehealed. Gem bi-colored indicolites of this outstanding quality are RARE from Pech. 32 grams mass. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON! The extreme gemminess, glassiness and luster made photography difficult. Valued at $2500 and well worth it.
