SUPERB and AESTHETIC, doubly terminated, parallel-growth, polychrome tourmaline crystals with an aesthetically attached smoky quartz crystal and a smaller tourmaline from the famous Otjua Pegmatite, Namibia. The gemmy and lustrous tourmaline crystals grade from pastel-green to pastel-pink to cranberry-red at the terminations. Overall, its a stunner! This is from the late 1980s 3.5 x 2.3 x 1.4 cm
