Single blue-cap Tourmaline with blue over a strong pink body color. Complete all around and undamaged. Weighs 16.9 grams. It's not uncommon to see Tourmaline selling for $100/gram or more at major mineral shows (and some such as the new Tourmaline from the Congo, go for way more than that!), putting an approximate retail value of $1600 on this crystal.
