Gemmy bi-colored Tourmaline w/ Stilbite (rare) Chris Korpi Coll.

Item Description

One would not expect to find the Zeolite Group species stilbite in pegmatites, but the renowned Himalaya Mine has occasionally produced specimens with stilbite. This is a striking and excellent combination minature of a gemmy and lustrous, bi-colored tourmaline crystal dramatically accented with pearlescent stilbite blades. The nifty 1 mm green zone at the water-clear termination is underlain by classic "Himalaya pink" elbaite. A rare and aesthetic 360-degree combination from the Chris Korpi Collection, a noted San Diego County pegmatite collector. 23 grams mass.
