Tourmaline Var. Indicolite (Floater)
Sauda Mine, near Gilgit, Northern Areas, Pakistan
Miniature, 4.9 x 1.4 x 1.4 cm
SOLD
This doubly-terminated elbaite var. indicolite truly displays the hemimorphic nature of tourmaline with each termination different than the other - one prismatic and one flat. The upper portion clearly exhibits a neon blue, transparency...very gemmy, and almost like a catseye shimmer there, too. The only 3 crystals I saw from this strange new pocket, found in September!
