A striking, gemmy and lustrous, polychrome tourmaline from the Otjua pegmatites of Namibia. The stepped, black pinacoidal terminations dramatically rest atop the main body, which is cranberry-red with golden-yellow highlights. Very nearly pristine, with only a tiny bit of contacting on the black termination of the sidecar crystal. 16 grams.
