Item Description
A gorgeous, classic, desirable, gemmy, doubly terminated, bi-colored tourmaline from the famous Himalaya Mine. The two terminations are distinctively different on this pristine, beautiful, very glassy, well-striated trigonal crystal. The assymetrical pyramidal termination is a pretty rose-pink and is dramatically accented with a small embedded tourmaline and a bit of feldspar. A bright apple-green follows. The lower half to the very glassy pinacoidal termination is glorious, gem rich "Himalaya pink". The corsage of pearlescent cleavelandite blades and scattered lilac lepidolite crystals on one side are super accessories to this outstanding tourmaline. 81 grams mass. Valued at $3200. Specimens of this high quality are normally reserved for the Gallery. Here's your chance to obtain a classic, exceptional bi-colored Himalaya at a reasonable price point.
