Very gemmy and lustrous, parallel-growth, dark green tourmaline crystals with reddish-pink terminations from Otjua, Namibia. The UNRETOUCHED backlit photos highlight the gemminess and intense green color saturation. These came out in the early 1990s, with very few, since. Meieran helped finance a dig there and this was found in their project at the time. This pristine, polychrome beauty is from the Gene Meieran Collection. 37 grams.
