Thick single green gem Tourmaline crystal with attached Albite. This is an older specimen with a much thicker (1.3cm) crystal diameter than more recent finds, and it's also highly transparent for about half of it's length (not just the tip, which is more common for this locality). Complete all around and undamaged and has on old collection sticker affixed to one side. The termination has stepped elevations but is undamaged. This is not your typical Stak Nala - thicker and gemmier than most, the difference is obvious in person. Valued at $300+.
