Item Description
Nicely terminated Elbaite Tourmaline with a Schorl core from well-known Otjua mine in Namibia. This crystal has a gemmy green outer layer with very good luster and striations. As expected, it was broken off at the base during mining, but there was no damage to the faces or main termination.
