A classic, pristine, bi-colored tourmaline from the Himalaya Mine. The segmented, very slightly bent, gemmy and lustrous tourmaline has variable shades of classic Himalaya "watermelon-pink" and green throughout the length of the crystal. A little pale, but still nice precisely for that reason as the pastel hues are unusual. The primary, pinacoid termination is complex and the sloping termination, with beautiful hints of pink, is broken, but is strongly healed. Weighs 48 grams.
