Item Description
Let me say up-front that this gorgeous tourmaline crystal has a clean, well-disguised repair on it (as so many Pederneira crystals do), which while not detracting from the appearance of the crystal, does reduce its value from around $1,200 to more in the $600 range. Still, as you can see, it has beautiful bottle-green color and a dramatic slanting termination - and no other contacts or damage. So if you are okay with knowing there is a practically invisible repair here, you may be able to get yourself a bargain here with a lot of visual bang for the buck!
