A big, fat Himalaya tourmaline crystal, a fine translucent pink for most of its length, but capped with a deep red gemmy termination - really unique! This termination is super-lustrous and has not contacts or damage. The crystal is complete all around, with no contacts, and there are a few little lavender-colored lepidolites on the sides. Weighs an impressive 80 grams.
