Item Description
Absolutely gorgeous gem bi-colored tourmaline on the RARE and sculptural pair of parallel-growth tourmaline crystals from a 1-time find at Pech, in 2020. The bodies of the well-striated, very glassy and lustrous crystals are a beautiful rich grass green. The very shapely, unusually complex termination is a lighter teal green. The smaller crystal has a recystallized broken termination (meaning it broke but crystallized over with more crystal in geological time in the pocket), and the crystal bases are also recrystallized...making these technically doubly-terminated crystals. The piece has never been cleaned, as there is still pocket dirt on it. Mass is 13 grams. STUNNING color.
