Despite their fine quality, Nepalese tourmalines are not well-known to collectors, simply because so few of them come onto the market. Here is a superbly gemmy crystal, complete, uncontacted and beautifully terminated with glassy termination faces. It is mostly pink, with just a bit of green towards the top. Weighs 10 grams. From the 1980s. Ex. Jaime Bird Collection.
