This odd Tourmaline is naturally etched, and has three different colors in four distinct color zones. It is totally gem quality which means you can read through it. The termination is green and then it shifts to bergundy, then yellow then back to bergundy. An excellent example from this location which is known for etched gem tourmalines. No damage. It weighs 3.26 grams.
