Beautiful bi-color Tourmaline specimen, with a raspberry red rubellite pinacoidal termination. This crystal has excellent clarity, through the gemmy mid-section, where it has deep green to blue/green hues. At the base there is pronounced watermelon zoning, with a thin dark green rind around a dark pink/red core.


Comes with a small beveled acrylic base and a laminated ID card
