Item Description

A really cool polychrome Tourmaline crystal on THICK and GEMMY white Albite crystal "flower" matrix 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. The crystal on this specimen features several colors ranging from a rich emerald green at the termination to a beautiful yellow-green color which gives way to an olive-green color, with a very dark green (nearly black) hue. Found in 2002, and is a really cool example of how one diverse the coloration of Tourmaline can be.
