Superb transparent Tourmaline crystal from recent finds in the Congo. Congolese Tourmaline can get very transparent and this is a great example of that quality - virtually flawless and glass-like for it's entire length. The color grades from red at the base to a yellow zone and a green termination. Undamaged and weighs 4.7 grams.
