Item Description

An unusual, showy and excellent tourmaline from this obscure Pakistan locale. The lustrous, striated, bi-colored crystal is a pristine, doubly terminated floater. The bullet-shaped termination is translucent, light mint green. The termination is lightly etched and tiny embedded cleavelandites give it a nifty, frosted look. The body is schorl. The low pyramidal end has a gorgeous, 2 mm, gemmy, indicolite-blue zone beneath the lustrous, frosted, dark blue to black termination. Very rarely on the market in this form and quality. 23 grams.
