A chunky, beautiful Himalaya tourmaline, complete all around, terminated and with no contacts. A small attachment of albite gives it a pretty accent. The bottom fourth of the crystal is faint green, while the top is a pretty bright pink. There is a very thin stripe of green right at the termination, indicating that the solution in the pocket changed once again just before the end of the formation of this crystal. Weighs a surprising 52 grams.
