TOURM46

This tourmaline was the best from a kilo parcel I acquired back in 2003, when gem tourmalines were so much more plentiful on the market. It weighs 33 grams. It is fully terminated without damage and has several small complete sidecar crystals. It exhibits the classice pink bottom, then apple green midsection with a pink cap. The current wholesale pricing on this crystal from Pakistani dealers is $30 per gram.
