Tourmaline (doubly-terminated multicolor)

Item Description

A nice polychrome Tourmaline crystal from the most famous Tourmaline locality in Pakistan. I have seen many Tourmaline specimens from Stak Nala for many years and the one characteristic of that many of them lacked was decent color. This doubly-terminated crystal features several colors ranging from a rarely seen yellow hue on the "cat's eye" pyramidal termination, then a slight yellow-green color which gives way to a very dark (almost black) green hue than transitions into a dark blue-green termination on the other end. A complete doubly-terminated "floater". Found in 2011.
