A super gemmy and lustrous, doubly terminated, dark red tourmaline from the famous Golconda Mine of Brazil. The UNRETOUCHED backlit photo highlights the gemminess and beautiful, intense red color saturation. This is definitely a very fine old-timer, which you seldom see today. The terminations are frosted and black. Two side bruises, below the pyramidal termination are on the backside and are out of sight. Excellent old-time material from the George Elling Collection. 26 grams.
