Item Description
A classic water clear, transparent multicolored Tourmaline crystal from this famous gem deposit (it's mostly known for its alluvials) at Ofiki, which has produced some of the best cranberry colored tourmalines that we can remember seeing. This gorgeous specimen is not only 100% gem clarity, but it has a beautiful spherical nodular termation, which is one of the most sought after forms in Tourmaline. Nodules are hard to find, and are often WATER CLEAR. This piece has a green hue at the upper portion, which grades into a soft yellow hue and ends with a pinkish-orange color near the base. Weight is 30.98 carats, and it's pure JUICE throughout.
