An interesting and older combination specimen from the Himalaya Mine and the Robert Whitmore Collection. A gemmy and lustrous, well-striated, multi-hued green tourmaline crystal is very aesthetically accompanied by an angled, doubly terminated quartz crystal and a lavender lepidolite book. The tourmaline is doubly terminated. This classic Himalaya piece dates to the 1950 or 1960s.
