This impactful style is destined to become, for color and termination together, one of the classic and distinctive styles of this discovery. Glassy and gemmy throughout, this fine TOURMALINE crystal exhibits a rich SATURATED evergreen color in the top two thirds of the crystal. It is remarkably gemmy, strongly colored, and the geometry so sharp that it looks as if carved. The bottom third has a rose pink hue. The mass is 65.6 grams.
