Item Description

An impressive and aesthetic, large combintion piece from Paprok. A 3.2 x 3.1 x 0.7 cm, gem, pretty lilac kunzite blade beautifully stands upright on the matrix hosting a 3.4 x 2.9 cm, lustrous, translucent, terminated, bi-colored, pink and greenish tourmaline crystal and nicely accenting lavender lepidolite crystals. The kunzite is pristine and the elbaite has only very trivial periphery wear. A very fine display quality combination piece, with an uncommon kunzite in matrix from Paprok. Ex Lloyd Tate Collection. From a Spanish Collection, who paid $1200 from a dealer.
