Gemmy DT bi-colored Tourmaline xls (1980s classic)

Item Description

An absolutely adorable and pristine 360-degree miniature of bi-colored doubly terminated tourmaline crystals with contrasting bladed cleavelandite from the famous 1980s finds at Stak Nala. Three of the four dramatically intergrown tourmalines have classic vivid pink, gemmy and lustrous, trigonal terminations. Most of the 4th crystal's termination abuts against the fantastic opposing perpendicular tourmaline. The dark olive-green body underlies the pink followed by gem bi-colored olive-green sections and the colorless gem modified pinacoidal basal terminations. These are among the first truly distinct pockets to come out of this region at the time and are easily Pakistan's finest tourmalines. A beautiful and highly artistic classic. Valued at $1500.
