2.2 x 0.9 x 0.9 cm. So-called "chrome" tourmalines, distinguished by their color from the chromium and vanadium content, are very rare from anywhere. This is a crystal from a find in Burma. It is terminated and complete all the way around, with sharp faces and good luster. This rare crystal weighs 5 grams.
