Item Description

A beautiful, 3.0 cm, bi-colored, gem tourmaline is exquisitely set on a glassy, mostly transparent, doubly terminated, floater smoky quartz crystal from the famed Himalaya Mine. The quartz is remarably pristine and the form on the backside is extremely complex. Rare, unusually high quality and aesthetic tourmaline on the smoky quartz from this locale. There is even a bit of purple lepidolite. Older material from the University of Delaware Collection.
