WOW! What a killer tourmaline from a classic US locality! Very distinct mint-green and turquoise-green colour zoning gives a unique character. The shape is gorgeous all around, combined flat and steep pyramidal faces make up an amazingly fine termination! Great striations are present on all sides. The piece features a cluster of two crystals in parallel growth. From an old private collection, the label is coming with the piece. Absolutely stunning colours, condition and form combined with great rarity and provenance. Superb indeed!
