A fat and sizeable (81-gram) Himalaya tourmaline, transparent-to-translucent, with pretty lepidolite crystals on its sides. The crystal has a fine, glassy termination. The sides are quite lustrous, all the way around. There are a couple of unobtrusive contacts in back faces lower on down, but the crystal offers several good display faces. Fine pink color and the association, and the glassy luster atop combine to make this a superb specimen and a truly stunning miniature. 5.1 x 3.6 x 2.8 cm
