TOURM38

This piece exhibits good color. It is bi-colored with four different color zones. (top down: Red, green, pink, green). It is nearly double terminated, with part of the bottom termination growing off of a little feldspar with Lepidolite. This crystal is thick and yet still shows good color saturation. Often Himalaya mine tourmaline has a brownish-red color whereas this one has pink and red zones. This mine is an american classic, and this piece is a fine example for the price. It weighs 35 grams.
