Item Description

A 6.0 cm, bi-colored, gemmy beauty has a grass-green termination above the glorious, golden-orange, gem section. The crystal grades to pink and is translucent in the lower half. The lower half is also contacted, but there is little actual damage. The 1.3 cm, gemmy, bi-colored section is a nifty accent. The crystals are aesthetically set in the face of a glassy, translucent, quartz crystal fragment. This well-known pegmatite mine was discovered in 1991 and produced very colorful tourmalines. The colors of this crystal are exquisite. Valued at $1000-1250.
