Section of Tourmaline crystal with a hot pink interior and a partial 'rind' of green. The edges are natural crystal faces
and interestingly the green color does not extend around the entire circumference of the crystal. This was just mined this year and what I
love about it is the intensity of the pink coloration, just spectacular. Living in California I have seen plenty of San Diego pink Tourmaline,
which can have great color at places like the Stewart Mine, but this crystal reaches another level of intensity, the best I've ever seen.
Weighs 17.1 grams and my price from the Nigerian miner was $10/gram.
