Here we have a stout, double terminated, polychrome from the Goma region in DR Congo. Colors range from a rich reddish-pink at the lower termination, to a lovely pastel green at the upper beveled, pyramidal termination, with a yellowish green transition zone. This specimen is in great condition with only minor chatter in the back.
