Item Description

A classic, beautiful, gemmy, bi-colored tourmaline from the Bill Larson Collection. The well-striated, glassy crystal has a variable cranberry-pink termination area followed by a very gemmy, light teal-blue and light green zone. The lower section is the classic "Himalaya pink" with gem nodule at the base. Complete all-around. One termination edge has just a bit of bruising, as does the side side, but they are out of sight in the display view and so it is nearly complete even on both ends. Colorful excellent older material from this famed locale. 37 grams. valued $1200
