The mine at Otjua, Namibia has produced a beautiful and wide variety of polychrome tourmalines. This sculptural, complete all-around, gemmy and lustrous crystal has a gorgeous, teal-blue body with a raspberry-red core at the base. The very interesting, star-shaped, pyramidal termination has lustrous and matte faces. The crystal is very nearly pristine. Excellent material from the 1970s or 1980s from this well-known locale.
