A BEAUTIFUL, gemmy and lustrous, pristine, zoned green tourmaline from the famous Himalaya Mine. The bed of glassy, colorless cleavelandite blades at the base is a very nice accent, as is the frosted, matte-finish, black termination. The UNRETOUCHED backlit photo highlights the gemminess and variable green color intensities. This is CLASSIC, OLD-TIME material from the Himalaya. Ex. Ernie Schlichter Collection.
