Item Description
This is an INTENSE maroon-colored tourmaline crystal of high quality for the locale, and was mined over a decade ago. It has the classic "siberite" color, a deep cranberry hue found seldom today. The crystal is complete all around. The back is contacted, but has very little actual bruising. It has excellent luster and gemminess and the steep termination adds pazzazz. 34 grams.
