This MAGNIFICENT bi-colored CABINET gem tourmaline was obtained in a lucky purchase via satellite phone email from the mines, on its way down the hills to Peshawar, yet uncleaned. The luster of this pink grading up to the termination cranberry-red beauty is off the charts. The lower half of the crystal is partially wrapped in light lavender to off-white lepidolite. The STRIKING pyramidal termination is very gemmy. Hefty at 157 grams!
