Item Description
This is the classic green-and-pink crystal style which this mine is so justifiably famous for, starkly differernt from other tourmaline finds and so immediately recognizable. They came out in the 1990s. The translucent, lustrous, forest green second growth tourmaline is grown over an interior, etched pink stalk. This crystal is very symmatric in the size of the overgrowth, and very gemmy when backlit. Steve had a whole hoard of these, and sold most some time ago, leaving only cherrypicked-out better pieces in his current trade stock. Valued $750
