Very impressive, featuring magnificent Tourmaline on Cleavelandite; especially for its gemmy crystal quality. Bi colour Tourmaline is a unique miracle of colors. This is a breathtaking example of Bi colour Tourmaline that beautifully illustrates the species’ propensity for color and gem-caliber aesthetics. It exhibits a spectacular display of saturated coloring-a deep rose at its lower half, and a vibrant, Kelly green at the top. Translucent and colorful, the specimen takes light beautifully, making it instantly attractive to the eye. Upon closer inspection, one will be further impressed by its sharp crystallization and very beautiful Cleavelandite grown all around the crystal, pointed termination, subtle vertical faces, and overall gem-quality. With its spectacular expression of color, this specimen is a lovely example of why Tourmaline has risen to be among one of the most desired species in the collecting world. The crystal is very sharply terminated and it has a superb luster with double termination! Excellent crystal with excellent size and perfection!
