Comments:
This tourmaline crystal is immaculate! The termination is interesting, and undamaged, the sides are all a neat matte finish, and the clarity is as good as it gets. Whether you want this to add to a crystal collection, or to facet an amazing gem, it is there for you!
The color is something a little extra too - It is pink, but not just any old pink; it is a neon strawberry pink. Bursting with vibrant life. The base of the crystal is a nice grassy green. Over the length of this crystal, the pink gently blends into the green. I'd say the piece is 70% pink, and 30% green. If you facet this gem, there is a small flaw at the green end to trim, and the final gemstone will likely be 80% pink and 20% green.
