This tourmaline crystal has a stunning gem and color-saturated termination, very unlike others in the lot. Nicely crystallized, this bi-colored tourmaline crystal features a highly lustrous and gemmy, bright blue-green termination while the body of the crystal exhibits a translucent rose pink hue. The mass is 96.8 grams. The dramatic bi colored crystal has no repairs, but it has a few very tiny restorations on a few edges, almost impossible to see (only can be seen under a UV light).
