“5.6 x 2.5 x 2.3 cm. This is a WONDERFUL large, fat old-timer tourmaline crystal from the Himalaya that came out of an old East Coast collection (Anthony and Dorothy Thurston). It has an unusual TRIANGULAR termination that was seen in a few of these old ones. It has only a tiny bit of edge-wear in one place that you have to look very hard to find - this crystal is in remarkably great condition. Interestingly, if you look down into the termination, you will see a hollow "tube" running internally for most of the crystal length - all the way down to the green! Note the unusually intense pink color, too. Weighs 63 grams.
