This HUGE tourmaline crystal (424 grams!) out of the Elling Collection is actually very dark GREEN, not black as it appears. It is just so thick that the light cannot get through (unless you put it under very strong light, and then you can see into the surface and see the bottle-green color). It is complete all around and terminated.
