Unusual DT, bi-colored Tourmaline (Bill Larson Coll.)

Item Description

A striking, highly unusual, doubly terminated, bi-colored tourmaline from the Himalaya Mine. The terminations couldn't be anymore different! One sloped termination has furrows and grayish-purple color, while the super-steep termination is totally gem, olive-green! The body of this gemmy and lustrous, well-striated beauty is classic "Himalaya pink". The nifty sidecar crystal is exactly the same! Complete all-around. The purple termination has a modest bit of edge wear. The gem termination has a dinged edge and a modest bit of edge wear. A very rare and showy style of bi-colored tourmaline.
