A gemmy and lustrous, old-time, Himalaya tourmaline from the Jaime Bird Collection. Deep green tourmalines, such as this, came out in the 1950s or 1960s, when Ralph Potter worked the Himalaya. This complete-all-around crystal has beautiful, variable green color density, a frosted, black termination and is very nicely accented by a bit of cleavelandite. Weighs 18 grams. Ex. Jaime Bird Collection.
