A beautiful, rare, pastel-hued, multicolored tourmaline specimen from Nepal's remote pegmatite deposits. Few specimens come to the market, and they trickle out over the years. This one, remarkably, is doubly-terminated with a basal tip and a prismatic termination at the other end. The coloration is not what you could call intense, but it is a pretty combination of pastel hues. A tourmaline of this size is rare from here. This was found prior to the late 1990s.
