Item Description

Classic Paprok material! This gorgeous specimen is a sharp gemmy lustrous cluster of two subparallel crystals. The crystals. are in great shape with very little and barely noticeable edge wear. They are a pastel pink color with pastel green tips, very subtly colored. This is not for the colelctor who wants a dark tourmaline, to be blunt. But the pastel colors are not weak and washed out, per se...they just are a classic color combination from this locale, unique really compared to other finds. And, for this style, It is a superb piece. Valued $1200-1500. Very 3-dimensional in person!
