Item Description
A TOP GEM, bi-colored tourmaline from Paprok, weighing 22 grams. This is a superb tourmaline for this style, and size range, having striking parallel-growth, "cityscape" architecture. The color is magnificent EMERALD-BRIGHT-green with a hint of teal-blue at the terminations, the crystal is super gemmy, and the luster is high. Complete all-around and very nearly pristine. Everything you could ask for in an extra fine tourmaline from Paprok. Valued at $1500-2000. It is that good...obtained in a trade, or I could never afford to put out here.
