Item Description
We've seen the unusual pink "mushroom" Tourmalines from this area, but this is more of the typical habit that one expects for Tourmaline. The piece hosts sharp and well crystallized pink prism of Tourmaline with gemminess and luster. Additionally it has some wonderful orange-pink highlights that can be seen from various angles. The largest crystal measures 7 mm, and many of them are doubly-terminated. A small bit of matrix can be seen on the side, but the piece is 90% Tourmaline crystals. If you collect Tourmaline, gem crystals or Burmese minerals, don't miss out on this one.
