Item Description

A beautiful and lustrous, renowned "hot" pink tourmaline from the Stewart Mine of California. This is a beautiful, intensely color-saturated pink tourmaline, amongst the finest in San Diego County. This bi-colored beauty has a narrow green zone below the near-colorless pinacoidal termination with frosted faces. The two, small purple lepidolites on one side are a nifty accent. Complete all-around and pristine. A contact on one side, just below the termination, has no damage, per se. Old-time material, seldom available in this quality. Weighs 18 grams. ex Maury Morgenstern collection
