A FATTY tourmaline from the Himalaya, and doubly-terminated too! This ample crystal is a rich pink and nicely gemmy for the Himalaya! It has a perfect flat termination on one end and a multi-faceted one on the other (though this bottom termination does show contact). There is a natural contact area where the crystal was attached to quartz on the back side. This impressive crystal weighs 63 grams.
