SOLD
A DRAMATIC and UNIQUE tourmaline and smoky quartz CABINET specimen from the Gene Meieran Collection. A 6.0 cm, gemmy and lustrous, doubly terminated, gray tourmaline crystal with vivid, raspberry-red terminations rests diagonally and beautifully on a nearly pristine, doubly terminated, translucent, complex smoky quartz crystal. Gene Meieran helped fund a late 1980s mining venture here, and kept this as one of his finders choice pieces when they hit.
