Description

This 5.4cm crystal is from a new find of yellow and blue capped tourmaline discovered recently in Tanzania- this is a well defined sharply terminated variant that exhibits a translucent brown core when adequately illuminated. 

In ordinary light the crystal has a good luster and appears black with a gemmy yellow pyramidal termination and a thin white mineral coating the vertical sides until backlit- then the white and black disappears showing off its gemmy brown interior.
