Item Description

A "gem" of a 5-piece deal from the Herb Obodda dealer stock. Gemmy and lustrous bi-colored tourmalines with distinctively different forms comprise this nifty set in a glass-covered box. The crystals are pretty pastel-pink and light mint-green. The four elongated crystals have pyramidal terminations with the fifth being an unusual mounded elbaite with a pinacoidal termination. Total mass is 24 grams. Valued by Herb at $800, more than 6 years ago for forms, gemminess and color.
