A large, DOUBLY-TERMINATED crystal of pink tourmaline, from the Himalaya. It has the typical translucent-to-transparent clarity for the Himalaya, with intensely saturated pink color. One termination has a bizarre jagged form to it and a natural bend from distortion in the pocket during growth; the other is the typical flat one. There are some accenting lepidolites on the sides of the crystal. This is a BIG one, weighing 58 grams!
