Item Description
A 5.5 cm, beautiful bi-colored tourmaline is aestheticaly frozen in intergrown smoky quartz crystals with frosted faces. The glassy, striated elbaite has a striking, gemmy, pretty teal-blue, parallel-growth pyramidal termination above the pink body. The tourmaline is pristine. Large combinations in this quality and size are rare from Paprok and this is a very choice and showy example. Ex Bob Soregaroli Collection. Valued at $2500.
