I had the chance to cherrypick pieces from a small pocket of this new, pink, glassy tourmaline from a find in the fall of 2009. This is one of the largest good crystals I saw, and is 159 grams. No repairs! It is transparent in its upper half and translucent below. It is very statuesque, and complete all around except for 2 small sidecars that have slightly chipped terminations. The main, stairstep terminations are all pristine. It is hard to convey in photos, but the color here really is quite different than normal for other Pakistani and Afghani locales. It is a combination of color and luster, more like Nepalese material. This is clearly from a "new " locality and visually, in person, this is more evident - we do not often see large, somewhat different tourmalines, from new locales such as this! Comes with custom lucite base for display
