Item Description

A beautiful and aesthetic doubly terminated bi-colored tourmaline from Paprok. The sculptural parallel-growth, glassy, well-striated, gemmy to tranlucent crystals have very pretty, layered, light pink bodies, that are capped by striking gem teal-blue pinacoidal terminations. The basal termination is very interesting complex pyramidal. Complete all-around and pristine. An edge contact below the upper termination has no damage, per se. This is a classic and very fine example of bi-colored pink tourmlaine from Paprok. 43 grams mass. Fairly valued at $2000. BETTER IN PERSON.
