Item Description
This well-known pegmatite mine was discovered in 1991 and produced very colorful tourmalines. This bi-colored, gemmy beauty has a lustrous, black, complex, pyramidal termination and is underlain by striking, grass-green, gem section. The vivid pink has an outer rind of green, making this a watermelon tourmaline. The crystal fluting and intergrown side car crystals at the base really add pizzazz to this wonderful tourmaline. These side cars have complete or broken and rehealed terminations. The form and colors of this cutie are exquisite. This varietal is seldom on the market. Pristine. 22 grams. Valued at $2000.
