Item Description
Tourmalines trickle out of Mogok occasionally, but very rarely in this color and quality. The thumbnail crystal is gemmy and lustrous, slightly flattened and has a complex pinacoidal termination. The colors range from teal-blue to flashy neon-green to olive-green in this highly unusual and striking crystal. Complete all-around and pristine, except for super-trivial edgewear. 24.2 carats or nearly 5 grams. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!
