Tourmaline on Feldspar ex. Saller coll.

Item Description

One rarely sees matrix Himalaya tourmalines, that are not repaired, or have just minimal matrix in any case. This is a large pocket piece of feldpsar and quartz, with attached cleavelandite as well, that is 760 grams. It features a well-terminated 4.5 cm crystal smack in the middle of the specimen. The smoky quartz adds a very nice accent, as they sit behind the tourmaline. Overall, a VERY impressive display quality, matrix Himalaya piece! From the collection of a German collector who specialized in Himalaya material, that I purchased only recently, this is its first release to the market since it was mined some 20-30 years ago
