Rich pegmatite specimen featuring elongated green tourmalines var. verdelite with pale red core and often a thin bluecap termination. Very lustrous and well defined, with often local transparency, the color contrast with the pale matrix is as striking as it gets. Mostly in good conditions, with some peripheral dings and contacts.

A very good specimen.
