Tourmaline var. Elbaite

Here is a colorful, gemmy watermelon Tourmaline crystal. Half the crystal is pink, then it turns green and is finally pink on the termination (a cross-section would show pink in the middle and green on the 'rind'). It has a natural flattish side, so it lays down well, or could be made into an attractive pendant if one was so inclined. It's in great condition with no damage. It weighs 8.5 grams.
