Item Description
An absolutely stunning, 2.5 cm, red gem tourmaline is dramatically set on the starkly contrasting snow-white euhedral albite crystal. The intense color is a luscious cranberry-red, with the sharp crystal form of the tabular crystal really adding beauty and aesthetics. This is a superb and rare matrix tourmaline from this less well-known locale. Very fairly valued at $1200.
