Tourmaline (multicolor) with Albite

Item Description

This is a very nice specimen 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 crystals on the piece features several colors ranging from a light pink shade on the terminations, then a beautiful pale yellow-green color, then into an olive-green color, then a very dark forest-green color. To top it off, the crystals are associated with a beautiful "flower" of Cleavelandite flaring off the side. The prism of the Tourmalines are rather lustrous for this material, but the terminations are just as lustrous, which is NOT common for these crystals. This is a great display piece and a wonderful pegmatite specimen from a classic locality. These piece are becomingly increasingly difficult to find in today's market.
