Terminated single gem crystal of Chrome Tourmaline which is a chromium and vanadium rich Dravite. Complete all around with deep emerald green coloration in the upper half and a more olive green in the lower half. Fantastic color and the majority of the crystal is facet grade. Undamaged except for a small ding and an indentation on the backside where another crystal was present. From a spectacular pocket opened in 2016. Both sides shown.
