A gemmy, lustrous and pristine deep-pink tourmaline crystal from the famous Himalaya Mine.

This piece is partially etched and has three purple lepidolite crystal clusters aesthetically attached to the sides. The backlit photo highlights the variations of pink and the thin green band in the crystal. 5.5 x 2.9 x 2.8 cm
