Description

Here is a lovely polished slice of tourmaline from Malkan. The gem crystal was sliced then polished to show off the intense pink outer rind and the intense yellow to the brilliant amber colored interior. The colors are rich and delineated, the slice is complete, undamaged and well-polished on both sides. This piece has an amazing size and is a true eye catcher!
