Item Description

An adorable and aesthetic, bi-colored, gem tourmaline combination from Pech. A glorious, 2 mm, water-clear, vivid pink caps this very glassy, highly lustrous, well-striated cutie. A 4 mm, gem, apple-green zone follows. The remainder of the crystal is stylish watermelon, with the green rind encasing the pastel-pink core. The striking lepidolite corsage on one side is a superb accent. You see very little hint of the pink zone looking down limpid termination of this crystal. Complete all-around and nearly pristine, just a tiny bit of termination edge wear, which is certainly only a trivial detraction to this classic and excellent Pech miniature combination. 10 grams mass.
