TOURM16

This attractive Tourmaline exemplifies the best of the Himalaya Mine. It has a pristine, lustrous green termination. The green is balanced by pink in the bottom half. As if for good measure it has a white florets of Clevelandite that nearly encompasses its perimeter. Where the Clevelandite doesn't cover, are Lepidolite crystals. This crystal was mined by Bill Larson, prior to 1998 who owned the mine for many years.
It weighs 68.5 grams. It's in great condition with no visible damage.
