Item Description
This extraordinarily gemmy and glassy crystal is from the collection of Steve Smale, a well-known afficionado for tourmalines who obtained many at the source in the 1980s and early 90s. Exchanged from his long-held stash, this is a VERY gemmy, glassy, crysatl with subtle colors grading into an intense cranberry-red termination. It is a unique pocket and style, still to this day, for the mine. Seldom do you see them come up for sale. 33 grams. Valued $2500
