A SUPERB gem crystal of tourmaline from Paprok. It has everything you want in a tourmaline from here. It is pink, grading to a light grass green, then to pink again at the termination. The multi-peaked termination is very lustrous. The crystal is complete and uncontacted all the way around, and can be displayed from any angle. Unusual for these, it has a rich cluster of lepidolites wrapped around the bottom that beautifully accents the crystal. Good size, too - not a wimpy crystal but will hold its own in a collection of large minis or small cabs. Weighs 36 grams.
