Tourmaline (M393)
I show two photos - the one with light back-ground is without any back-light. You can imagine the fantastic transparency of this crystal! This is cut-quality! The second photo was done with minor back-light and expose the fantastic colors. The faces are on highest possible luster - this is really uncommon for the locality (most are dull on the back-side), but not this one! The termination is razor-sharp and there are no significant damages to report.
