Bi-Color Tourmaline Crystal - Height: 34 mm - Width: 10 mm- 8.24 g - (1)

Bi-color tourmaline crystals are known for their captivating dual hues, usually resulting from variations in trace elements during their formation. Tourmaline itself is a complex borosilicate mineral prized both for its wide range of colors and its crystal structure. This particular specimen, standing 34 mm tall and weighing over 8 grams, displays a distinctive color zoning which is highly sought after by collectors and jewelry designers alike. Tourmalines commonly form in igneous and metamorphic rocks, and their pleochroic nature means they can show different colors when viewed from different angles. Beyond aesthetics, bi-color tourmalines are sometimes appreciated for their rarity compared to single-color stones, making such crystals valuable additions to mineral collections or artistic creations.
