Doubly terminated Tourmaline hails from the famous Himalaya Mine in San Diego County, California, one of the most celebrated tourmaline localities in North America. For many years, this mine has produced some of the world’s most iconic and vividly colored tourmaline specimens, and this crystal stands as a testament to that enduring legacy.
This is a truly magnificent, elongated multi-colored tourmaline displaying a soft and elegant play of colors that transitions seamlessly from deep pink at the base, through subtle green, to a warm golden cap at the termination. The crystal exhibits a multi-faceted pyramidal termination at the top. At the same time, the bottom is unusually flat, allowing the piece to stand upright naturally —a feature that enhances its presentation.
A single repair exists at the junction between the pink and green zones, along with a minor restoration, but it does not diminish the overall aesthetics of this remarkable piece. Instead, the crystal’s striking luster and perfect geometry make it a breathtaking example of tourmaline at its finest.
