Description

A single, partly transparent tourmaline var verdelite with good green color.
Old timer from the 19th century with a rare label from Isaac Walker (1793-1853) dated 1839.
The "H" possibly indicates that this specimen originated from the collection of John Henry Heuland (1778-1856). The right digits are a collection number, the 3 points at the left bottom of the label represent a price code (which is not cracked until now).

An american classic with pedigree!
