making full use of the original outline of the rough crystal, this finely carved, realistic and vividly colored exotic fish carving utilizes the classic "watermelon" coloration of the tourmaline with a core of intense purplish pink comprising the body and fins while the outer edge of olive yellowish green accents the fins, eye inset with a round cabochon cut sapphire, the scales suggested by a crosshatched pattern, the fins with a fluted finish.
