Tourmaline (doubly-terminated multicolor crystal)

Item Description

A very nice doubly-terminated polychrome Tourmaline specimen from the most famous Tourmaline locality in Pakistan. This crystal features several colors ranging from a colorless "Achroite" pyramidal termination, which gives way to a thin olive-green zone, and a very dark (virually black) hue that transitions into a lovely glowing blue-green color on the basal termination on the other end. I can see a tiny bit of colorless "Achroite" on the other end as well. The piece is a completely doubly-termianted "floater". Both of the terminations are gemmy and well-formed. Found in 2011.
