SOLD
A super display specimen, complete all around, showing a LOT of blue gem tourmaline for the money! The crystals have a vibrant rich blue color that is transmitted through the gemmy crystals, clearly visible without any kind of fancy backlighting - the best style of indicolite as far as the collector is concerned. Repaired just one time, cleanly, almost invisibly, through the lower portion of the long crystal and with no restoration at all. This is considered quite rare for an indicolite of such size from any locality but particularly for a cluster from this particular pocket (found around 2002), from which many crystals were multiply fragmented. Comes with custom lucite display base.
