Item Description

This specimen of tourmaline is a really elegant piece because it splays out towards the top, and has a beautiful composition of different colors throughout. It is pristine, with no damage, and stands dramastically on a base. The beautiful lavender colored lepidolite wreaths its body, and gives a contrast. This is an elegant style, not often seen, although the crystal is otherwise typical of Afghani material. 39.2 grams. We are honored to be able to help deaccession so many fine specimens from the Jack Halpern collection, so they can go to new homes with other collectors.
