A classic, bi-colored, "Himalaya pink" tourmaline from the Himalaya Mine. The body of this gemmy and lustrous, well-striated crystal is variable shades of the gorgeous pink, for which the locale is renowned. The 2 mm termination zone is a pleasing green and the pinacoidal termination is scalloped. The base is also a very light green. Highly representative older material from the Robert Whitmore Collection #4466. Weighs 17 grams.
