Glassy pink and green Tourmaline crystal from recent finds in the Congo. The Tourmaline is a glassy pink with a bright green termination. Good transparency and in excellent condition, even the base has been rehealed. This is a crystal from early production at the locality that I obtained in a trade. It weighs 52.04 grams. Good, larger sized Congo Tourmaline typically sells for about $300/gram, but because it is an older piece obtained in a trade I'm able to sell it here at about $150/gram.
