A KILLER, GEM polychrome Himalaya Mine tourmaline. Larger Himalaya tourmalines, such as this, SELDOM have this gemminess in the pink and green colors. This doubly terminated beauty shows textbook hemimorphism, meaning the terminations have different forms: one is pyramidal and one is pinacoidal. CLASSIC, SUPER and OLDER material from the George Elling Collection. Pristine, except for a super trivial bruise on the edge of the pinacoid termination. 27 grams.
