Item Description
An exceptional, richly colored and rare bi-colored tourmaline from the Shigar Valley and the Herb Obodda Collection # 1223. This gorgeous, gemmy, lustrous, well-striated beauty has rich lawn-green color. The lustrous, fabulously complex, pyramidal termination is dark olive-green to black. The side car crystals add much pizzazz. Complete all-around and essentially pristine, with only the most trivial of side wear. A contact is noted at the base, where another crystal lie, but there is no damage, per se. Very choice and rare tourmaline in this color and quality from this locale.
