Item Description

A beautifu, gemmy and lustrous, bi-colored elbaite crystal is dramatically attached to the side of a complex quartz crystal with multiple terminations from the famous Himalaya Mine. The smaller tourmalines add real pizzaz and color to this very sculptural older piece from the 1970s or 80s. The pristine 5.6 cm tourmaline is slightly bent from pocket forces! A 3 mm, gorgeous, gem, apple-green section underlies the glassy pyramidal termination. The classic, large, rich "Himalaya pink" mid-section is underlain by olive-green, which includes a gem nodule at the base. This adorable combination old-timer has multiple display views. Valued at $2000 and worth it.
