VERY DARK BLUE & GREEN GEM TOURMALINE - PLEASE NOTE THE SLICES ARE NOT INCLUDED.Approximate size of crystal specimen:3 3/4\" LONG X 15/8\"WIDE X1 1/2\"DEEPor in metric:12.0 X 4.0 X3.8 CM. The metric dimensions are more precise. This weighs 384 grams or 13.55 ounces

A PIECE WAS BROKEN OFF OF THIS LARGE CRYSTAL . I SAWED A SLICE OFF THE TOP AND OFF THE SIDE TO CHECK TO SEE IF IT WAS OPEN OR CLOSED-C. IT IS CLOSED-C, AND THE SLICES ARE NOT INCLUDED. This crystal is from the W. F. Ingram collection which was assembled , in part,84years ago. Most items in the collection with a date were dated 1940. I estimate that the collection was built from 1940 through 1960.
BE SURE TO SEE VIDEO - THIS CRYSTAL HAS SMALL BANDS OF GREEN COLOR but is mostly BLUE. Thiscrystal is gemmy facet grade but it is very dark and should be heat-treated to lighten the color. If you hold your cellphone under it with the light on, you can just barely see the light coming through - but WOW! is it a beautiful color. In addition to being very dark it is closed-C, which means light can\'t easily pass lengthwise through the crystal. That means if you cut slices like salami along the length the way most people do that light wouldn\'t really pass through the crystal. If you cut slices longwise - which absolutely no one usually does - then light would pass through those slices. To illustrate this, I cut slices along both directions off the piece that was broken off to show how one direction blocks almost all of the light. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE SLICES SHOWN ARE NOT INCLUED. THIS LISTING IS FOR THE 384 GRAM CRYSTAL ONLY. If you\'re unfamiliar with \"closed-C\" then you should read up about it before buying this. One photo shows the slices (which aren\'t included!) in hand to show that they appear quite dark even in thin slices if not back lit.Since this is closed-C and also needs to be heat treated to lighten the color I am going to price this one very cheaply. I also have listed the rest of this crystal - a crystal that weighs 74 grams - in a separate listing.

This was photographed outdoors in bright sunlight and at times it was photographed indoors.

Be sure to check my other items and check back often to see what all is new! I\'ll be listing the rest of this very long crystal very soon.
