What is it?? Inquiring minds want to know!

 

[Harriet]

It's a pink tourmaline and it's watching your every move ...

Here's Richard M.'s expert description:

It's a tourmaline crystal, polished on the end (C-axis) into a cabochon as a collector's item, just like it says. Crystals grow slowly over time, and their color depends on the chemistry of the mineral solutions that "feed" them.

You've all probably heard of Watermelon Tourmaline which has a green "rind" around a pink or red center, just like a round slice of watermelon. In that case the pink crystal formed first and then the green outer layer, fed by different minerals, grew around it.

Harriet's stone is probably blackish "schorl" tourmaline with an overgrowth of attractive pink tourmaline. Tourmaline is one of the most colorful minerals and can occur in many different combinations. I have a couple of very similar crystals awaiting cutting.

By the way, tourmaline crystals that show different colors along their length are NOT watermelon tourmalines even if the colors are red-green. They are properly called bi-color or tri-color tourmalines.

You seem obsessed with that thing. When are you going to buy it?

Look at it carefully. It appears to have an iris and a pupil.

I think it looks even more sinister dressed up as a rhinoplasty candidate. Clearly, if it's wearing such a disguise, it's up to no good. What's its plan? What's its game!??? What is it up to?

I MUST KNOW! Before it's too late...

 

[Harriet]

It''s coming for me. There''s a hospital that does a lot of plastic surgery across the street. Help!

That is exactly what I told her last night. I think she is waiting for the second eye to show up so she can have a set for earrings.

LOL.

Won''t a bunch of them make a nice necklace?

I think it''s prettier than the first one.

 

[Harriet]

Would you mind dressing it up?

I''ll see, no promises though....
