Beautiful and sculptural specimen of multicolor doubly terminated Tourmaline var. Elbaite of 22 mm decorated by Quartz and Albite from Stak Nala, Skardu District, Pakistan. The Elbaite crystal has marvelous color variation from dark green in the middle, olive-green above to apple-green layers and colorless tip on one side, and tender pink on the other end – very pastel and pleasing color variation. The crystal is perfect and bi-terminated. The pink end is with two terminations.  The crystal is transparent and gem with high luster and superb surface striations. On the Tourmaline is nestled doubly terminated Quartz crystal. It is transparent to cloudy and lustrous with sharp shape. Some white Albite is seen at the base.  Aesthetic display from many sides. In excellent condition – some small nicks and contacts. On acrylic base.
Magnificent!
