A beautiful, gemmy, and lustrous polychrome tourmaline from the Himalaya Mine. The classic, well-striated crystal has the pleasing, vivid, "Himalaya pink" body. The base is hues of green, and the modified, pinacoidal termination is either colorless or very light gray. The little, 6 mm, lavender lepidolite crystal on the side is a nice accent to this fine older piece that probably dates to the 1960s or 1970s. Complete-all-around and essentially pristine. Ex. Robert Whitmore Collection # 44. Weighs 30 grams.
