Description:A 2.2 cm, gemmy and lustrous, bi-colored, tourmaline is focal point of this dramatic and showy CABINET specimen from recent finds at Paprok. Pretty, pastel-pink with mint-green tipped tourmalines are scattered on the sculptural, knobby matrix of feldspar and lavender lepidolite. A bit of periphery wear and a couple of broken tourmalines are noted, but this remains a large, representative and excellent example of the species and locale. Classic Paprok material.
