Item Description
Striking "cityscape" terminations highlight this sculptural and colorful tapered cluster of parallel-growth bi-colored tourmaline crystals with from Paprok. The bodies of the gemmy, highly lustrous, very glassy, well-striated crystals are a very pretty bubblegum-pink. The sharp, lustrous, multiple terminations are pastel teal blue-green accented with subtle pink highlights. The primary terminations at the top are all pristine. Complete all-around and essentially pristine, with only gentle bruising to some of the tips of the lower side car crystals. A beautiful 360-degree tourmaline from the Uwe Strauss Collection. 56 grams mass. Classic and excellent Paprok. BETTER IN PERSON!
