Item Description
A very nice polychrome single Tourmaline crystal from the most famous Tourmaline locality in Pakistan. I have seen many Tourmaline specimens from Stak Nala for many years and the one characteristic of that many of them lacked was decent color. This crystal features several colors ranging from a light pink shade on the pyramidal termination, ranging into a colorless ("Achroite") zone, then a beautiful yellow-green color which gives way to an olive-green color. The piece is VERY gemmy and has great luster along the prism faces and the termination, which is not common for this material. Found in 1998.
