Despite one repair, this is obviously a fine Himalaya tourmaline. It is dark at the bottom, grading to a light gemmy bottle green, then to a forest green at the termination. The termination is complete and undamaged, as is the termination of the small crystal intergrown at the side of the large one. You can see the thin line of the repair just above the termination of the smaller crystal, but from this display angle, it is not all that noticeable and distracting, and this is the best display angle anyway, as it shows off both the big and little crystals at their best. There is some natural contact on the back side of the crystal. Weighs 37 grams.
