A 4.7 cm, pristine, gorgeous, gemmy and lustrous, bi-colored tourmaline is very aesthetically attached to the side of two, intergrown quartz crystals from Darra-i-Pech, Afghanistan. The tourmaline body is a beautiful, vivid pink and both ends are very complimentary, multi-hued green. The glassy, primary quartz crystal is complete-all-around, though contacted on one side. The smaller quartz crystal is complete in the front and back is cleaved.
