Item Description

A cute and aesthetic, bi-colored, doubly terminated tourmaline with cleavelandite thumbnail from the Herb Obodda dealer stock. Both terminations are gemmy, olive-green. A narrow, achroite/colorless zone underlies one termination and the opaque body is either very dark green or black schorl. The prism faces are lightly frosted. A super accent is the nifty wing of bladed cleavelandite with an attached, 6 mm, bi-colored, tabular, terminated tourmaline. A fine thumbnail.
