A truly breathtaking, colorful, extremely gemmy tourmaline crystal with deep and vivid blue and green hues. It is terminated and complete all around except for trivial edge damage on some back faces and a few little nicks on front that are not detracting. The color is breathtaking and it lights up unusually well for such a large indicolite because of the slenderness of the crystal. That is a little cookeite-coated quartz crystal sticking out of the termination! 6 x 3.3 x 1.5 cm
