Can you BELIEVE the intense cranberry color of this tourmaline crystal?! And the bottom of the crystal, which the camera had trouble with, is just as gorgeous, in a different way: it is a light, transparent version of the top, and just glows under decent light. This crystal is technically doubly-terminated: the crystal broke off in the pocket and the broken end healed naturally. A This SPECTACULAR crystal weighs 17 grams.
