A tourmaline "pencil" of extreme gemminess from Connecticut. This is an old-timer out of the Hauck Collection. It is bottle-green, with a rough though complete and natural termination on top. There is a "shelf" towards the top where the crystal met an obstruction and continued growing (more narrowly) past it. Glassy luster.
