Item Description

A very nice pair of polychrome Tourmaline crystals 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. This groups features several colors ranging from a colorless "Achroite" terminations, then a slight yellow-green color which gives way to an olive-green color, and a very dark (almost black) green hue which gives way to a soft green and another colorless "Achroite" termination on the other ends. Very minor associated Albite, one of the Tourmaline is doubly-termianted. Found in 2011.
