Utah

0 for sale·Member since 2025

A remarkable single crystal with much more elegance, due to its splaying form, than you would normally expect of a single large tourmaline. It is complete and nearly perfect all around, 3-Dimensional, and without repair. Note how the top of the piece elegantly splays out from the narrower base, making this less "lumpy" than many large tourmalines from the locale). It is extraordinarily translucent given the size, and practically GLOWS when backlit at all, a wonderful bubblegum pink color. Inside, you can see from the top a "phantom" core of darker tourmaline within, which is an interesting bonus. It weighs in at 1 kilo.
