Item Description
A gorgeous, gem, doubly terminated indicolite tourmaline with highly unusual flattened form from Paprok. The water-clear, very glassy, well-striated crystal is mostly a beautiful indicolite blue. Areas of pretty teal-green color add pizzazz. The pyramidal termination is coated with lepidolite or clay and the basal pinacoidal faces are etched. This is an exceptionally gemmy and superb indicolite with very uncommon form from the Gene Meieran Collection. 8 grams mass. Fairly valued at $2000 for very high quality and rare form. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!
