2.7 x 1.4 x 0.9 cm

Elegant, gemmy to translucent crystal of Elbaite Tourmaline from Paprok with the classic watermelon tourmaline color combination. It is a peachy pink grading to a grassy green at the termination. Nice size for a thumbnail display, weighing in at 8 grams. A few dings at the tip, and a flat chip on the bottom side. A very aesthetic piece!
