A unique Little 3 Mine piece, as you never see tourmaline perched on quartz like this from there! Yet, this piece hosts a 4.5 x 2.5 x 2.5 cm deep green tourmaline, just sitting up there on the quartz! It has a very fine, smooth termination, and silky strands of green color, almost fibrous, running down the sides. This specimen is most unusual, for the tourmaline's gemminess and nice luster, AND for its perch
