Item Description
A "gem" of a 2-piece deal of gemmy and lustrous, bi-colored tourmalines from the famous Himalaya Mine. Both of the crystals have very gemmy, luscious, apple-green terminations underlain by classic, pretty "Himalaya-pink" zones. The termination of the smaller crystal is absolutely water-clear, with the other crystal having lepidolite and an etched termination. They are complete all-around and both have a bit contacting on their sides, that can be minimized by the display view. These are classic, well-striated, polychrome beauties from this renowned locale and would make excellent cutter material. 17 grams total mass - 9 and 8 grams each.
