This gemmy, evenly-colored magenta crystal is a classic color and style for the locality. However, few truly killer thumbnails have come out compared to larger pieces, and to obtain one of this quality with some distinction or association (such as the quartz associated), is quite difficult. I sold this first nearly a decade ago, and got it back recently. It is as good a thumbnail Russian tourmaline as any I have had. Joe Budd photos
