A very nice polychrome single Tourmaline crystal from Stak Nala, Pakistan. This crystal features several colors ranging from a light pink shade on the pyramidal termination, ranging into a thin colorless ("Achroite") zone, then a beautiful blue-green color which gives way to an olive-green color. The piece is rather gemmy and has good luster along the prism faces and the termination, which is not common for this material. From the find in late fall of 2005.
