Item Description
This striking and beautiful bi-colored Paprok tourmaline highlighted by the vibrant colors and the rich pink multiple terminations dramatically accented by the 1.0 cm side car crystal. The gemmy, glassy and lustrous, tapered crystal has a pleasing bottle-green body below the pink terminations. A green rind surrounds the vivid pink core at the base. Complete all-around and essentially pristine. The main crystal is pristine, except for a bit of contacting at the base with very little bruising. The terminated side car has a broken inner end. These virtually have no impact to the very high aesthetic quality of this 360-degree tourmaline. 36 grams mass. Valued at $1500-2000 for quality and rich color.
