Item Description

A glorious, beautiful and classic bi-colored tourmaline from the most famous Pakistan locale - Stak Nala. The classic vivid pink trigonal termination is underlain by the striking, gemmy, rich apple-green section. The base of the highly lustrous, well-striated crystal is very dark green to schorl black. Bone-white cleavelandite blade blades beautifully frame two sides of the pristine cutie. An outstanding example of the combination species and noted locale. It GLOWS, when back lit. Valued at $1500. Fomr the famous finds here in the late 1980s, among the first truly distinct pockets to come out of this region at the time
