The Otjua Mine of Namibia has produced a beautiful and wide variety of polychrome tourmalines. This aesthetic cluster, with a dramatic, angled crystal, features lustrous, translucent, green-to-teal-blue crystals with pink terminations. Complete-all-around and pristine, this is a floater cluster and all of the crystals are doubly terminated. The main shaft is a beautiful array of variable length, parallel-growth crystals. Excellent material from the 1970s or 80s from this well-known locale. Ex. Jaime Bird Collection.
