Item Description

Tourmalines are certainly among the most popular species for collectors. The main crystal on this specimen has a blue-green shade near the termination, and a very dark green color throughout the rest of the crystal, which is aesthetically flaring off a partial crystal of porcelain-esque, lustrous, white Albite matrix. For a Tourmaline specimen, this one is different from most. To the best of my knowledge, the find of these crystals was very limited and I have not seen any of them available from the Pakistani dealers for some time. Don't miss out on this unusual gem crystal specimen. A "different" kind of Tourmaline for any collector. Enjoy.
