A classic, gemmy and lustrous, bi-colored, pencil tourmaline from the Himalaya Mine. The beautiful "Himalaya" pink body has a small zone of colorless or very light gray just below the pink termination. There is even a little lepidolite corsage embedded in the side, just below the termination, as an interesting accent. Gemmy, excellent material like this probably dates to the 1980s. Ex. Wes Parker Collection. Weighs 7.44 carats.
