What more could you possibly ask for in a Himalaya tourmaline? This 11-cm crystal is GEMMY from top to bottom, elegantly and beautifully tapering towards the top, and is DOUBLY-TERMINATED! The color is an intense cranberry hue quite unusual from the mine and characteristic of old production from the 1950s and early 1960s when the mine was owned by a man named Ralph Potter. I got it as part of amortising a larger deal, so am passing this superb gem crystal along at a killer price, I think. In person, it is MUCH more gemmy than it appears. 11 x 2 x 1.6 cm
