Item Description

Tourmaline specimens are extremely rare from the pegmatites of the Karoi District, famous for its 1970s finds of sharp and beautiful blue Topaz and Euclase crystals. This ultra-impressive, large, elongated pencil has high luster, well-striated faces, an excellent termination, and it is a GEMMY, deep-green. An exceptional and excellent rarity, what is even more remarkable is that, as far as I can tell, it is unrepaired! 35 grams, complete and miraculously without repair! valued $5000-7500. ex George Elling Collection.
