Tourmaline with Cleavelandite

Perfect Elbaite Tourmaline thumbnail with striking color zoning. The base of the crystals displays a dark forest green hue, transitioning to transparent grass green and ending in completely glass-clear terminations. The crystals are aesthetically nestled in Cleavelandite. The Cleavelandite exhibits a fine crazed texture, revealing a delicate striated structure under specific lighting conditions. Stak Nala reached its peak tourmaline production between the mid-1980s and early 2000s; current yields are significantly lower, making high-grade specimens like this increasingly rare.
