A pristine, gemmy and lustrous Himalaya tourmaline. This showy crystal is nicely accented by off-white cleavelandite blades on one side, but is UNUSUAL and UNCOMMON, in that that the core and termination are green and the outside rind is raspberry-red. The complex pyramidal termination is also unique, in that the terminations faces alternate between being glassy and having a frosted finish. Older Himalaya material.
