A superb Himalaya Mine tourmaline crystal. First off, it is unusually gemmy for the Himalaya. And, it is a doubly-terminated and complete floater, with no damage (even the sidecar crystal is terminated). But beyond this, look at the very uncommon, and uncommonly pretty, mix of colors here. The crystal goes from a grassy green, to bright pink, to a very light bottle green, to a darker bottle green. Weighs 27 grams. From old dealer stock of the miner, Pala International.
