A very beautiful and aesthetic, triply doubly terminated, polychrome tourmaline crystal cluster from the Himalaya Mine. All three tourmalines, including the tiny one on the tip of the sidecar crystal are doubly terminated. The gemmy, striated bodies grade from a very pleasing pink to light green to nearly colorless at the terminations. One termination on the large crystal has the peculiar, very interesting, etched, columnar look. This is a visually impressive, older, unusually gemmy Himalaya tourmaline that is totally pristine and comes from the Steve Smale Collection.
