This Himalaya tourmaline crystal (out of the Charles Hansen collection) has very unusual color and zoning for the locality - easier to appreciate in person. The bottom is a very light grassy green, but as you move up towards the termination, you can see in the center a dark green core. The crystal is capped by a bright scarlet termination. Again, very unusual, and a fine crystal overall! Weighs 30 grams.
