As you can see from the front-and-back pics, this is COMPLETE all around! The qualrtz is complete, the tourmaline cluster is complete, its all there! The tourmaline is 9.5 cm long and about 1 cm thick. It has a perfect termination and the freestanding nature of the crystal, perched against the quartz cluster, makes for striking aesthetics! It is repaired twice, cleanly, as to be expected with such an exposed crystal and particularly one from this jigsaw puzzle of a mine and pocket. It is one of the most aesthetic matrix tourmalines for its size, that I think I can say I have seen from the Pederneira despite all its recent productivity. In person, it is much more bright and lustrous, too!
