A fine gem crystal of tourmaline from Paprok, with a layer of grassy-green sandwiched between two pink sections. This is actually a compound crystal, with the thin sidecar termination right next to the "main" crystal. The terminations are typical for Paprok: fine, transparent and glassy. The crystal is doubly-terminated (though rough on the bottom end, appearing more like a contact face with coating). Weighs 30 grams.
