Though it does have one repair, this is a big, fine, fat Himalaya tourmaline crystal out of the collection of Ed Ruggiero. It has wonderfully rich bright pink color for most of its length, with green at one end. The crystal is technically DOUBLY-TERMINATED - at one end is a perfect termination, and the other is naturally-healed after having broken off naturally in the pocket. The weight of this beauty is 52 grams.
