Item Description
A showy, 2.5 cm, "mushroom" tourmaline from Burma, with the characteristic "cap", in this case a gemmy pink color and typical black core. The tourmaline is jauntily perched on the side of a partially euhedral quartz crystal. Very little new material is coming from Burma these days, due to the United States trade embargo.
