A fat and chunky, beautiful cranberry-colored tourmaline from Burma, not known for producing prismatic crystals of this size and quality in large numbers. It has a pyramidal termination, but you can see how the faces have been modified through growth anomalies so that you see a bunch of flashing geometric forms as the light hits this glassy termination. Complete all around. Weighs 88 grams.
