Item Description

A unusual and showy "gem" of a five-piece deal! Five, beautiful, gemmy and lustrous tourmalines have gorgeous, water-clear, emerald-green bodies. 4 of the 5 crystals have etched terminations, that are filled in with sparkly pastel-pink lepidolite crystals. The impressive large crystal is half draped in lepidolite, adding pizzazz. The small crystal has striking spike protruding out of the etched termination. They are all pristine. The large and small crystals have side contacts, where other crystals once lay, but have no damage, per se. Classic and uncommon Paprok combination tourmalines. This is a fine lot. 47 grams total mass. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON, as the photos did not capture the fine gemminess of the crystals. valued $1000-1500
