Interesting bi-color Tourmaline from  Mwajanga, Tanzania.  The crystal is a transparent, deep rootbeer color in the lower half with a sharp change to silvery grey, cat's-eye at the top. These half normal/half cats-eye crystals were found once at this mine and are very distinctive. This is a good sized crystal from this find. Weighs 16.3 grams.
