Item Description
Certainly one of the most colorful and unusual tourmaline forms you will ever see! Glowing, lustrous, translucent, hot pink tourmaline that has formed into crescent shapes. The densely intergrown rounded tourmalines look like mushroom caps on contrasting feldspar matrix. The base has been sawed to enhance the already considerable display quality. Incredibly dramatic as well as being rare. They really glow in bright light! Ex Herb Obodda dealer stock. Herb valued this piece at $800, five or more years ago. Value today is $1000-1250.
