Item Description
A luscious and lustrous, classic "Himalaya pink" tourmaline is nicely accented with purple lepidolite. The pretty gemmy, transparent to translucent crystal has well-striated sides and an extremely gemmy termination area. Technically, this is doubly terminated crystal, as the base is broken and healed. The base also has an olive-green interior. Pristine. From the 1980s operations. A classic Himalaya tourmaline. Comes with a custom-made and engraved lucite base valued at $125, for free. 47 grams. Valued at $2500.
