Item Description
From a find in the late Fall of 2005 in Pakistan. A nice miniature sized specimen from the most famous Tourmaline locality in Pakistan. The main crystal on this piece features a few colors ranging from a thin colorless ("Achroite") zone at the termination, then a dark forest-green color which ends with a black Schorl color throughout the rest. You need VERY strong backlighting to see the color. To top it off, the crystal is associated with Microcline and Muscovite. These piece are becomingly increasingly difficult to find in today's market.
