SOLD
Two terminated, intergrown crystals of deep green tourmaline, accented with a gemmy quartz crystal and a ball of sparkly pyrite. At the unterminated end of the large crystal (where it was removed from the pocket), you can see the deep pink interior, making this what is commonly called a "watermelon" tourmaline. This accompanying card from the Ruggiero collection shows it to have passed to him from Keith Proctor 30 years ago. 5.3 x 3.0 x 2.6cm
