Description/Interesting Notes:
A unique, old time example of tourmaline from this classic locale!!! This specimen consists of a complete, doubly terminated
crystal of tourmaline!!! The crystal has a rich pink termination followed by a zone of colorless "achroite" and then a curious
zone that almost appears to host a complex pink tourmaline crystal phantom!!! The crystal also has a slightly chatoyant sheen
within from certain angles as well!!! Both terminations are quite complex yet highly lustrous!!! The crystal is complete
all around and is quite handsome in person!!! Old material!!!
The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!! This specimen is from the
collection of Tony Nikischer!!! We just acquired the 6000+ specimen PERSONAL collection of Tony Nikischer and
there are going to be some very exciting minerals to come in the upcoming days and weeks!!! Prior to the Nikischer
collection this specimen was originally from the collection of Florence Mecke (acquired from the late 1930's until the 1970's)!!!
