Description

Excellent Tourmaline crystal - it shows intense dark green color with a sharp red phantom. All faces are highly lustrouse, even end point - and sharp terminated. Undamaged, no contacts - glossy without any compromise all around. There is also minor Clevalandite intergrown to the bottom, which makes it even more eye-catching. Almost on very representive dimension. Ex Malte Sickinger Coll.
