A lovely coat of white albite and pink lepidolite nicely envelops the stunning doubly terminated tourmaline crystal. The crystal is remarkably large for a Stak Nala piece and strikes with great luster, a well defined termination and the color change. While pink at the bottom, the crystal has a characteristic dark middle part and a gemmy achroite part to the top! The whole specimen is in best condition with only very minimal wear on a few spots. As you can very well see in our video, the crystal has a sparkling, nicely structured surface on all sides and stands out of the albite/lepidolite coat in just the right proportion. Highly aesthetic and of excellent quality!
