The photo does a good job of showing you the incredible range of colors in this one tourmaline gem crystal. It starts out light pink at the bottom (enclosing a spot of green). Then it turns an extremely gemmy bottle-green color. And the termination is hot pink! There is an area of the termination where it grew against something, but it is natural. The bottom termination is naturally-healed, so this is technically doubly-terminated. Weighs 13 grams.
