This extraordinary Tourmaline is bi-color and clean. It has a multi-termination, with the top third being a salmon/orange color and the rest is a teal blue indicolite. There are no dings or damage, just the back side near the base it is rough where they extracted the crystal from its pocket. It looks fantastic in its custom lucite base. Given its internal clarity the crystal appears to glow from within regardless of lighting. It was grabbed immediately from our Hawthorneden stock when we first acquired their inventory, and we just got it back from Steve Dowell. It weighs 31 grams.
