Thumbnail crystal of these unusual Tourmalines from Vietnam. The green outer zone is Liddicoatite while the red core is Elbaite. Undamaged with neat multifaceted termination, however backside has contacting where other crystal grew along side it, which is somewhat of a bonus as it reveals the red inner core.
