Item Description

A classic and beautiful "Himalaya pink" tourmaline from this renowned locale. The gemmy and lustrous, well-striated trigonal crystal is a doubly terminated floater. The pyramidal termination has frosted faces and the gem pinacoidal termination is lightly scalloped. A little lavender lepidolite is a nice accent. The white mark on one side near the pyramidal termination is totally internal. Complete all-around. The clean repair at the center is certainly acceptable in the context of pegmatite species. 11 grams mass.
