A gemmy, evergreen-colored tourmaline that is literally glassy and transparent, so you can read through it, stands up dramatically from a swirling cluster of lepidolite (mica) crystals. This is such a classic Brazilian combo, but rare in such elegance! A fine, competition-level miniature. Long in IKONS book author Wayne Thompson's personal collection of Miniatures/Thumbnails built with his daughter, Stevia, when she was young. Laszlo Kupi photo.
