Item Description

"Himalaya pink" tourmaline is a true California and world-wide classic. This aesthetic cluster of two doubly terminated and pristine crystals is nicely accented by the bladed cleavelandite. The glassy, gemmy, well-striated crystals have variable pink color saturation and there is a narrow, light pastel-green zone below the pinacoidal termination. The basal cityscape termination has a real BONUS. A 6 mm, colorless, gemmy, hexagonal, apatite crystal lies in the center of the termination. Excellent, older and RARE combination material from the Bill Larson Collection. 22 grams. Valued at $1250-1500, for rarity and quality.
