A UNIQUE and showy combination specimen from the famous Himalaya Mine. A lustrous, bi-colored, 3.4 cm watermelon-pink to green tourmaline crystal, along with smaller watermelon-pink tourmalines and a single green tourmaline crystal are attached to a HUGE laumontite-covered, 5.7 cm, flattened rhombohedral calcite crystal! The zeolite laumontite is EXTREMELY RARE at the Himalaya Mine and this may be the LARGEST calcite crystal ever recovered from the mine!
