A beautiful, gemmy and lustrous bi-colored tourmaline from the Himalaya Mine. The classic, doubly terminated, well-striated crystal has alternating bands of pleasing, vivid, "Himalaya pink" and several shades of very complimentary green. The pinacoidal pink termination has either an embedded quartz, feldspar or cookeite crystal. Complete-all-around. The color banding and gemminess on this crystal are gorgeous. Weighs 7 grams.
