Item Description

A gorgeous and stunning large vibrant pink gem tourmaline slice, polished on both sides, from Madagascar. Yes, this is the natural color! It looks like fine stained glass! This was originally sold as liddicoatite. It may be fluor-liddicoatite, liddicoatite, elbaite or other species. Single xl XRD and WDS analysis are needed to confirm which species are present in the slice. Tourmaline from this obscure area is RARE and is seldom on the market. Valued $1500 and comes with a custom-made and engraved lucite base valued at $145, for free. 25 grams mass. Some of the richest pink tourmaline you will see from any locality!
