***Bringing you the very finest minerals ebay has to offer!!***


Tourmaline

Merelani Hills, Lelatema Mts, Arusha Region, Tanzania

1.9cm x 1.64 x 1.25cm


Description/Interesting Notes:

An absolutely incredible example of chrome tourmaline from Tanzania!!! This specimen has some of the most incredible color I have EVER seen in a tourmaline specimen!!! I would say that the crystal has the same "wow-factor" as the finest Paraiba tourmaline!!! The color is totally unique and beyond anything I have ever seen in any other chrome tourmaline!!! The habit is also somewhat unusual compared to other chrome tourmaline specimens I have seen from the region!!! The crystal consists essentially of a complex pinacoidal tourmaline termination with an incomplete back!!! The crystal is gemmy and could likely yeild a substantial gem, as a significant portion of the crystal is quite clean!!! While the color shows up a slightly bluish green in the pictures - in person it is an absolute ELECTRIC emerald green (I would equate it to a choice Chatham emerald on steroids if you could somehow cross it with a white LED lightsource)!!! Unbelievable in person!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!! Don't miss out on this rare and valuable gem crystal!!! Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!! STAY TUNED!!! MORE AUCTIONS WILL BE ADDED SATURDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 5-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY APRIL 8th!!!
