Complete single crystal of Tourmaline with a purple body color and vivid cranberry red termination. This is a beautiful crystal with high transparency and is complete all around with uniform shape and no damage. The exact locality is unknown but the purple color leads me to believe it's from the Xanda Mine. Weighs 7.1 grams and I value this easily at $50/gram (about $350) if not more.
