This is a fabulous-looking and LARGE tourmaline crystal from Brazil. It is terminated, with a fine pyramidal termination with pretty bevels. The luster is just superb, but the colors are really the star here. The crystal has a cranberry top, and the center is absolutely clear gemmy green, pure top grade gem material! There are a couple of natural contacts on the back side, including one that is on one of the three termination faces but that does not show from the display side. This large crystal weighs 122 grams.
