SOLD
A beautiful, gemmy and lustrous, doubly terminated, watermelon tourmaline from recent finds at Pech. The pastel-pink core, wrapped in green, is capped by a very glassy and gemmy, vivid apple-green termination. The basal termination was broken, but healed with multiple, stepped faces. Doubly terminated Pech tourmalines are not that common, even healed ones like this. Weighs 18 grams.
