Top quality gem Tourmaline var. Elbaite spray of radial crystals from Vietnam. The gorgeous crystals up to 66mm are doubly terminated. They are with marvelous color variation from raspberry to pink and red nuances with green to apple green zones which is absolutely fantastic.  The crystals are gem and clear, with prismatic sharp shape, nice striations and excellent glassy luster. With complex multiple terminations. The lower part is complete and crystallized on two levels separated by Muscovite plates. The piece shows dramatically all over 360 degree. In superb condition – small minor nicks.

Exceptional gem flamboyance!
