This is a giant 200-gram, gemmy tourmaline from Pech! The termination is glassy, complete and undamaged! The crystal is complete all around. The white spots you see are natural attachments of albite; in fact, there are only a couple of contacts on this whole large crystal, other than the main one on the bottom where the crystal was removed from the pocket. The color grades from pink at the bottom, to a nice grassy green, and back to pink again at the top. You can see at least a centimeter into the pink termination as if looking through glass! 8 x 4.2 x 3.5 cm
