Description

Over 10 cm tall, good translucency - with minor backlight you can see the pink centers and the steel-blue outer color, minor steps of green are also visible. The smaller crystal is set on a small piece of matrix. The faces are partly glossy, partly you can see numerous tiny crystals of second generation. And exceptional - it is not even repaired. The main crystals are end-pointed - not razor sharp, but not broken. The only compromise: during extraction a part of the backisde wa sawed. If you can accept a sawed area at the reverse you will have a very impressive large Tourmaline sample from this famous mine.
