Item Description
A BEAUTIFUL and AESTHETIC combination specimen from the Shigar Valley of Pakistan. A totally gem, complexly terminated, 2.5 cm, champagne-colored topaz crystal jauntily rest at the foot of a gemmy, bi-colored, green to teal-blue tourmaline "smokestack". The tourmaline has a frosted pyramidal termination. The topaz and tourmaline are pristine. Lustrous, pearlescent, bladed cleavelandite, with very minor contacting on the back, completes this gorgeous combination piece.
