A very fine Nigerian tourmaline, complete, doubly-terminated and in wonderful condition. The back side has multiple terminations at various levels, with a couple of very small contacts. The bottom termination is really strange - the pink core of the crystal extends out of the green, and has the termination on it. From the pink bottom, the crystal grades to a grassy green, then to a more bottle-green at the top termination. This fine crystal weighs 34 grams.
