Description

This crystal represents an exceptional rarity - a zepter tourmaline. The base is intense pink, the zepter shows dark green color. It shows sharp terminated modified end-points and all faces - also the pink base - are highly lustrous. The green zepter is clean of inclusions and cracks and the translucency is best - it don´t need any backlight to expose the colors. The first photo in the galery is done under artificial light, 2nd and 3rd photo under daylight. The specimen is developed a floater, no signs of extraction at all. No damages or contacts, perfect all around!
