This Goma tourmaline has a bit of an unusual look for this find and features a thin, translucent bright mossy-green cap at the termination, followed by a slim zone of achroic (no color) material. This transitions to a core that is stunningly gemmy and transparent! The majority of the crystal is a pleasing pink, with hints of sepia. The mass is 77.8 grams.
