Item Description
A gem of a 4-piece deal of limpid to translucent, bi-colored tourmalines from Paprok. The glassy, well-striated terminated crystals have bodies of pretty grass-green to bottle-green to shades of teal-green. The two smaller crystals have yellowish olive-green terminations. The water-clear light crystal has a pretty indicolite teal-blue termination and the large crystal has hints of pink in the translucent termination. Pristine, except for a trivial bit of basal contacting to all four crystals. A choice and pretty selection from the Uwe Strauss Collection. Total mass is 20 grams or 100 carats.
