SOLD
This is a large, pristine, unrepaired tourmaline in exceptional condition, featuring a deep green core and a lighter green termination capped by a very thin, red-pink line of growth. It is imposing in its very large, equant form, and perched nicely upon a diagonal crystal of smoky quartz. The large, broad termination is unusual in its even height for such a flat top. Stark white cleavelandite drapes around the backside to provide accent.
