Item Description

A cool polychrome Tourmaline crystal 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 on one termination to a dark greenish-black shade in the middle to a beautiful yellow-green color which gives way to a light yellow color on the pyramidal terminatione. A doubly-terminated "floater" crystal, with no point of attachment. Found in 2002, and is a really cool example of how one diverse the coloration of Tourmaline can be.
