This is an electric green gem Tourmaline. Gem Tourmaline crystals have always been Dr. Steve Smale's favorites. I acquired this from him before he moved to Hong Kong. It comes with his personal collection label as pictured. It is internally clean and shows a beautiful gradient of color from its base to its termination. It weighs 6.7 grams.
