The core of this striking, gemmy, highly lustrous, watermelon tourmaline is a gorgeous, vivd pink and the water-clear, gem rind is greenish-blue. Lepidolite is embedded in the termination of this complete all-around and pristine beauty. The broken crystals at the base are translucent to gemmy. This is classic, old-time and striking, bi-colored tourmaline from the famous Santa Rosa Mine, dating to the 1960s or 70s.
