Item Description

Striking 10g Tourmaline of an excellent, overall raspberry color and very good, striated luster. What is hard to appreciate in the pics, though so easy to see in person, is how very gemmy this crystal is from top to bottom and inside and out. The three zones in the crystal are as follows: the core is more of a raspberry color, grading to peach in the middle zone, and the outer zone is an amazing electric pink. It is nicely terminated on both ends and is in fact a FLOATER, complete all around.
