This gem pencil-shaped tourmaline is 25 grams in mass, and has excellent transparency and electric green color. It is a very rare example from the so-called lipstick pocket of a straight-terminated crystal with a flat top instead of the cranberry cap one is used to seeing from this find some years ago (1980s). Yet, note the little lipstick-like crystal hanging off it that proves it is from that find, made famous long ago. Ex. Steve Smale Collection.
