Two beautiful, gemmy and lustrous, polychrome tourmalines artfully perched on a sliver of albite from the famous Himalaya Mine. The tourmalines reach 2.2 cm and the color zoning is just marvelous, as one crystal is vertically zoned and the other has a green core with a pink outer rind. This is DEFINITELY old material, from the 1960s or before.
