Ex. Dr. Stephen Smale
SOLD
A sceptered tourmaline with some style! A GEM top sits atop an unusually elongated etched scepter, with a little tutu skirt around the bottom that somehow clung on as the rest of the crystal experienced solution effects in its pocket millions of years ago. The glassy and gemmy section measures approximately 2.8 cm in length. Beautiful and rare! An old specimen, ex Steve Smale collection.
