Item Description
A classic Tourmaline crystal from the famous locality at Paprok. These specimens are world renowned for their amazing size, color, quality and gemminess. This lovely crystal group features a pair of sharp, lustrous, gemmy, blue-green to rich green colored trigonal prisms with minor matrix. The specimen is complete all the way around with only a tiny bit of interrupted growth on the side. It's not repaired either, which means something to me. The striated prism faces glisten with high wet luster, and the piece looks beautiful with backlighting or sitting on its own. Great quality and color, a wonderful example of this beloved material.
