A wonderful, doubly-terminated Himalaya tourmaline. The color grades from pink, to green, to pink, and back to green again right at the termination! The top termination is classic and perfect, and the other one is really bizarre, the large crystal having grown around a small one, resulting in an odd U-shaped termination at this bottom end (but complete and undamaged!). this piece weighs 24 grams. I got it in trade from Bill Larson, who mined it in the early 1990's. The mine is now closed. 5.3 x 1.9 x 1.5 cm
