Item Description
A gorgeous, gemmy and lustrous, parallel-growth, tourmaline crystal cluster with killer, sea-green color and riveting "cityscape" architecture from Pech. The well-striated crystal is incredibly limpid and this color for Pech, is just off the charts. It glows with green glory under light. This is a rare and superb example, where the color is uniform the entire length of the crystal. Complete all-around and nearly pristine, with only trivial, barely noticeable termination wear and a broken tip on a small sidecar crystal. 18 grams. Valued at $1500 and well worth it for color, rarity and gemminess. THE COLOR IS UNIQUE - in person, it shows!
