A beautiful, gemmy and lustrous bi-colored "city-scape" tourmaline from the famous Himalaya Mine. The green base grades upward to a gorgeous watermelon-color. The highly complex termination looks like a series of tall buildings, hence the "city-scape" name. This piece is pristine and also has a bit of cleavelandite and lepidolite at the base, which adds to the overall aesthetics. Just a cool rock! Of course, if you did not already know it, the mine closed several years ago. 3.3 x 2.9 x 2.5 cm
