Item Description
A magnificent spray of bi-colored indicolite tourmalines dramatically clustered on bladed cleavelandite matrix from Pech. RARELY do you see tourmaline sprays, such as this, from ANYWHERE, available! The beautiful crystals have gorgeous, indicolite-blue and teal-green gemmy bodies and GLOW, when backlit. The matte terminations are underlain by gemmy dark indicolite-blue sections. The "towers" reach 4.3 cm long down to their broken bases. The piece looks great from all four sides. All of the terminated crystals are pristine. A stubby interior crystal was broken, but the face is totally healed. The noted periphery wear certainly has only minimal impact to the overall very fine and rare quality of this piece. Valued at $2000-2250. This is the last of the two of this exotic style, that we obtained.
