Item Description

Gem tourmalines from this famous Afghanistan pegmatite with this gorgeous baby-pink color are RARE. This glassy, limpid cutie with beautiful color has a complex pyramidal termination and striated prism faces. The termination and base have a slightly darker hue, than the center of the crystal, adding character. The bit of noted trivial bruising is certainly only a modest detraction to this 360-degree beauty. A rare and beautiful gem tourmaline from the Herb Obodda dealer stock and valued by Herb at $600 more than six years ago. BETTER IN PERSON!
