This is an uncommon cluster of a classic style for the Himalaya, the green-caps. These classic green and red multicolored tourmaline are from the Larson/Pala Intl mining era here, late 1970s-mid 1990s. It is complete all around (except the bottom) and I s a very 3-dimensional specimen overall. Comes with a special plastic display label indicating this was out on the Museum's display. From the collection of Hubert De Monmonier (1919-2007), donated by bequest to the University of Arizona Museum to add to their displays and to provide specimens for sale to establish an endowment fund for museum operations, in perpetuity.
